DAFVM Spotlight Employee: Shirley Davis
Shirley Davis
The Holmes County Extension Service can count on Shirley Davis to provide support to all county staff.
Davis answers the phone, inputs 4-H data, files, assists clients in all program focus areas and performs other general office duties.
Davis said what motivates her most in her job is being a resource for everyone around her.
“I love and enjoy helping my co-workers with the many aspects of their jobs,” she said. “They know they can depend on me with any task, no matter how large or small when needed. They know that I will be eager to help.”
Davis said that her favorite memories from her 13 years as an Extension office associate are from the time Crayton Coleman worked for the Holmes County Extension Service.
“He would often come to work with his smoker and pork loins or beef briskets all seasoned and ready to cook,” she said. “He would smoke that meat, and before he could get it out of the smoker, our mouths would be watering from hunger. His barbeque sauce was amazing. What a joy.”
In her spare time, Davis enjoys singing and playing Spider Solitaire. She has two sons, ages 43 and 32. Davis has 13 grandchildren.
