Brenda Fay Davis Wharam, 69, of New Canton, passed peacefully surrounded by her family and many friends on October 23, 2018. She was born October 3, 1949, a daughter of the late Roy M. and Ora Newton Davis. Fay found joy in the simple things in life, particularly flowers. A

flower in Fay’s yard might be planted and then moved several times until she located its perfect spot. She also enjoyed tending her vegetable garden, quilting, crocheting and traveling.
