Elene Meyer Davis of Houston lived an eventful life until her death June 7 at age 91. According to her obituary, she succumbed to congestive heart failure and the 2016 presidential campaign.

We're sure that the man upstairs had plans for her beyond this physical plane, but that little dig at this election season is something many of us can get behind.

This past year there have been obituaries featuring both positive and negative mentions of Donald Trump.

According to Davis' obituary, first published June 11 in the Houston Chronicle, she left behind a loving, adoring cast of children and grandchildren, plus tons of friends. It was one of her grandchildren who posted a link to the obituary on Houston's Reddit outpost this week.

On her deathbed at St. Luke's Hospital she was blessed with not only a Hail Mary but also a Hebrew prayer for the dying.

Davis was born in Yoakum, Texas, in 1924 and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin at the young age of 19.

Raised by a rugged Jeffersonian Democrat out of Louisiana, she learned early on about truth and fairness.

A true Southern woman throughout her life, she was married to her husband Leon for 61 years. She was the first woman in the world to fight back cancer "pre-metastatically" with the help of Interferon.

Her obituary states that one day she up and decided she would begin growing roses, which meant that by the next day Leon, the devoted husband, would begin helping her plant more than 100 bushes. From then on she was a rosarian of the highest order. Leon would say that "all his years as an entrepreneur he had never before seen a hobby turn into an industry so quickly."

She passed away holding a rosary she had received more than 50 years ago from the family of a woman she had befriended and been somewhat of a guardian angel to. She seems to have never forgotten that family of 12 children.

In her obituary she was lauded for believing that “political correctness was an excuse to erase facts and history.” She also is reported to have “deplored the misinformed, the ill-informed and the mal-informed.”

Here in Texas we call that a firecracker. Which brings us back to the opening paragraph of that June obituary.

We're sure that the man upstairs had plans for her beyond this physical plane, but that printed dig at this presidential election season is something that many of us can get behind.

This past year there have been obituaries featuring both positive and negative mentions of Donald Trump.

Mrs. Davis, wherever you are we hope you are tending to the roses and enjoying the sunshine, millions of miles away from any coverage of the election.
