Charlotte Davis Hoffman Roach
3-22-1948 to 7-31-2003

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of Davis in the summer of 2003. She has been an integral part of the church for the past fifteen years and we know that her spirit of creativity and love will continue to bless us in the months and years ahead.

Davis and Paul came to Unity Church in September 1988 when it was a small and struggling community. From the beginning Davis shared her gift of leading meditations and being a calm graceful presence on Sunday mornings. At the time she was heavily involved in her own career as a speech pathologist as well as minister’s wife.

Over the years her involvement in Unity increased. She gave ever more inspiring sermons, she established our drama ministry, Unity Players and wrote and directed ten plays. She also wrote and directed children’s plays at Christmas and Easter.

Davis liked to say that she has served in every aspect of the church’s life from Youth Education director, to singer in the Unity Singers and ensembles, to volunteer in the office and garden, to Paul’s most important and ever faithful support.

For many years the Language Action Center, a day group for the head injured which Davis directed, met at the church. It was a vital and important work.

In recent years Davis was our special events coordinator, newsletter editor and a growing and loving spiritual presence in our church. She was proud of her daughter, Miriam and enthusiastic about all her church family, becoming ever more comfortable with the role of church mother.

Davis was an articulate, gifted and creative person. She was a thoughtful adviser, a person of wit and charm, beautiful outwardly and inwardly. She was wholly dedicated to Spirit.

Davis approached her illness with courage and grace and left us, peacefully, to continue her work in other dimensions and mansions of God’s universe.

To honor her life and the contributions she made, we will, among other things seek a publisher for her plays and create a gift-set of her sermons and meditations.

Thank you Davis for all you are to us. We see you blessed, and we are grateful.
