The Bakersfield Californian 
Frances Nadine Bolinger Davis

Aug. 17, 1931 - Mar. 18, 2005



Frances was born to William and Annie Bolinger August 17, 1931, in Muskogee, 

Oklahoma the fifth of what would be seven children. When she was five years-

old, William, Annie, their seven children and other family members, moved from 

the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma to Weedpatch, California in search of a better life. 

Although it was a harsh struggle, it turned out to be the right move. Frances 

was very proud of her heritage as one of the many children of the Dust Bowl. 



Frances worked at Scherb-Moore Clinic for many years while she raised three 

children. While working at the clinic she met a charming young man named 

Charles Davis who later became her husband. Charles and Frances recently 

celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary. As a couple they shared a unique 

relationship. They enjoyed fun times, travel and gatherings with family and 

friends. She told us many times how happy she was. After her children were 

grown Frances was able to return to school and realize her dream of becoming a 

Registered Nurse. She worked for over a decade in several area hospitals 

before retirement.



Frances was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Marie, Mary, Velma 

and Elva and her brother, Bill. She is survived by her husband, Charles; 

daughters and sons-in-law, Paulette and Bruce Elliott, Kathy and Lloyd Gentry; 

son and daughter-in-law, Dennis and Monique Weese and her brother, Calvin. Her 

proudest accomplishment in life is being a Grandma to Larry Smith, Paul Smith, 

Rod Gentry, Mark Gentry, Christy Hynds, Rene Bentz and her favorite 5 year-

old, Steven Weese. Her grandchildren range in age from 5 to 38 and gave her 

much joy and happiness. They learned the meaning of infectious laughter from 

their Grandma. She is also Sweet Great-Grandma to Ryan Smith, Adam Smith, 

Ashley, Austin and Aaron Hynds, Danielle Hernandez, Andrew and Faith Bentz, as 

well as other great-grandchildren.



Frances became ill and passed quickly from this life to eternal life with our 

loving Heavenly Father. Her faith and trust in Jesus Christ as her Savior is 

the cherished legacy that she has passed on to her children and grandchildren.



Although we will miss her terribly and all of our hearts ache at the thought 

of being without her, we take comfort in knowing that is only for a short time.



Five year-old Steven put it best when he said to his Mom, Grandma is in Heaven 

with Jesus now, just like you and Daddy will be there before I get there.



What a Wonderful Promise we have (John 3:16)



We Love You Mom!
