Elaine M. Davis

January 9, 1946 — May 4, 2025

Humboldt

Elaine M. Davis, 79, formerly of Humboldt, passed away on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at the West Bend Health & Rehabilitation Center in West Bend surrounded by family.

Elaine was born January 9, 1946 in Fort Dodge, the daughter of Milford and Arlene (Sundeen) Hoff. From her toddler years until the time she moved to a care center, she lived on the family farm west of Thor. She attended Humboldt Schools, graduating from Humboldt High School in 1964. The day after graduation she took a job in the office at Gunder Manufacturing. On April 25, 1970, Elaine was united in marriage to Virgil J. Davis. Elaine took time off from her career to raise her boys, Michael and Steven, before returning to Gunder Manufacturing and managing the office for numerous years.

She enjoyed traveling with her best friend, Diane, to Paris and later with Mike’s family to Bogota, Colombia as they grew their family through adoption, as well as trips to visit family in Colorado. Elaine enjoyed collecting antiques of all kinds, growing flowers in her yard, square dancing and card club. And she was always up for a good shopping trip with girlfriends. Above all, Elaine loved doting on her granddaughters and showering them with love.

Elaine is survived by her husband of 55 years, Virgil, of West Bend, son Michael (Jill) Davis of Buffalo, Minnesota, her granddaughters Ellie and Tia Davis and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and son Steven.

Elaine’s family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the staffs at West Bend & St. Croix Hospice for the wonderful care given to Elaine.
