Romona will be remembered for her strong will, resilience, and her infectious laughter that could brighten any room.

She is survived by her loving husband, Billy Ray Davis; her father, Louis Snider, and stepmother, Eve Snider; her brothers, Rick Snider and David Snider (Jan); and her sister, Kathy Snider.

Romona is also survived by her children, Jessica Smith (Jason) and Betty Barnwell (Mario); her stepdaughter, Norma Carlyle (Allen); and her cherished grandchildren, Avery Bello, Alana Carlyle, Camden Barnwell, and Peyton Barnwell. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Indigo.
