Patricia Berry Davidson

April 27, 1943 - October 30, 2023

Patricia Berry Davidson, 80, of Charlotte, North Carolina, passed peacefully October 30, 2023 after a valiant 10-year fight with cancer. Pat grew up in Drexel, North Carolina, the daughter of Margaret Hildebrand and Vurland Jones Berry. She was a proud graduate of Meredith College that led to a rewarding 40 year career in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System; teaching at Cotswold, Billingsville and Sharon Elementary schools. After retirement, Pat dedicated herself to her many friends and neighbors, the Walking Club, serving as an election judge, watching sports, playing mahjong and reading. She found joy in every day!

Pat was very grateful for the excellent medical care she was given these past 10 years and personally would want to thank Dr. Justin Favaro of Oncology Specialists of Charlotte, Dr. William Warlick, Jr. and Dr. Kevin Roof of Novant Health Radiation Oncology, and Dr. Lori Taylor of Novant Health, as well as all their medical teams. In addition, the compassionate, skilled nurses of the 6A floor of Novant Health Main cared for Pat as "family", with grace and dignity, during her last week of life.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Kenneth D. Berry.

She is survived by nieces Robin Wiseman and Donna Howery, and nephews David Berry and Kenneth D. Berry, Jr., as well as numerous cousins.

The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., Thursday, November 9, 2023 at Sossoman Funeral Home (1011 S. Sterling Street, Morganton, NC). A celebration of Pat's life will be held at noon in the Colonial Chapel of the funeral home. Burial will follow in Burke Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Pat's honor to the charity of choice.
