Fern Davye

Fern Davye, Lecturer in the Luminosity of Language, made her final exit from the stage of life on April 30, 2009 at Hospice Family Care, in Prescott, Arizona. She was born to Ben and Zelia (Strauss) White onh May 6, 1951 in Amityville, New York. Fern Loved to live the good life and included all her friends and students with her in explorinhg the best of everything. She brought poetry to life and struck a cord in the hearts of those who had the good fortune to hear her lecture and perfom. She played the English language like a musical instrument she'd invented. She always reminded those around her how we are supposed to live: by wringing evry last drop out of every monent... We'll never see the likes of her again, she was that original. Fern is survived by her brother, Bram White, his wife, Barbara and nieces, Jenna and Lissa of California; her nephews, Keegan and Blake Miller, the sons of her late sister, Rissa and their father, Warren Miller and his wife, Bronwyn, of Prescott. Also by an adoring circle of friends, mostly in Arizona, affectionately known as The Tribe. All will miss her amazingly buoyant and richly zany spirit, her extremely clever wit and her deep, rich, generous heart. A celebration of Fern's life will follow at a later date. Memorials may be made to the Prescott Public Library, 315 E. Goodwin Street, Prescott, AZ or Hospice Family Care,  E. Sheldon Street, Suite , Presoctt, AZ .
