Gail Diane Whitmore Davidson, also known as GG and Ms. Gail, 76, of Statesville, N.C., will be lovingly remembered after she peacefully passed away on July 21, 2025, at her home. Born on August 12, 1948, in Warren, Ohio, she was the cherished daughter of the late William Russell Whitmore and Theo Mae Hedwall Whitmore.

Gail led a fulfilling life as a devoted homemaker and nurtured her family with boundless love and warmth. She was the best grandma, “GG,” to her grandkids and many other “adopted” grandkids. Her unwavering spirit and commitment to those she loved were evident in everything she did. Gail was a member of Word and Spirit Ministries in Chester, S.C. Her family was the center of her universe, and she delighted in every moment spent with her loved ones.

An adventurous soul, Gail thrived in the great outdoors, often expressing her passion for hiking and travel. From Yellowstone to Colorado to Europe, she always found a thrill. Skydiving, cross-country skiing, CrossFit, and fly fishing are just a few of the hobbies she enjoyed in her later years. She now joins her beloved husband of 42 years, Charles Michael Davidson, as well as her brother, Frank Whitmore, in eternal rest.

Gail leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She is survived by her children, Charles Davidson Jr. and Melissa Maier of Granby, Colo., Brian Davidson of Kannapolis, N.C., and Sarah Slocum and husband Derek of Statesville, N.C.. She was a proud grandmother to Kaden, Brooklyn, and Reghan Slocum, as well as Charles and Benjamin Davidson. Her siblings — Russell Whitmore and wife Esther, Jay Whitmore and wife Debbie, Marty Whitmore and wife Vickie, Dean Whitmore and wife Lynn, and Doris Hardin and husband Jeff — carry forward her warmth and kindness.

A Celebration of Life service will be held in her honor, where family and friends will gather to reminisce and celebrate her exceptional life. The service is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Friday, August 1, 2025, at Southington Christian Church, located at 3285 State Route 534, Southington, OH 44470. Prior to the service, loved ones will have the opportunity to express their condolences and share fond memories from 12 to 1 p.m. at the church.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude for the abundant love and support during this time.
