It saddens me to report the the death of Mamie "Galore" Davis, Greenville legendary blueswoman. She was recently hospitalized and underwent open-heart surgery on her birthday. She suffered a fatal stroke on Wednesday and was pronounced clinically dead Friday about 4pm but not offically as such until Saturday. She was honored with a stone on the Greenville Blues Walk on Walnut Street and received the fourth Eugene Powell-Sonny Boy Nelson award preceeding the Delta Blues Festival. I have no info on arrangements at this time but will keep you informed. |

Visitation for Mamie Davis will be Friday, October 12 from 1-5 PM at Redmond Funeral Home Chapel on North Broadway in Greenville. The funeral will be at the chapel Saturday morning at 11:00 am unless changed by family. A benefit to help pay funeral expenses, (I'm told they lack $1900 to be able to pay all expenses) will be at the MACE building on Theobald St. between Main and Washington, Friday evening from 6-9pm. - Butch Ruth, Greenville |
