On May 10, 2002, Eloise "Lois" Davis married the love of her life, Ivory Collins. Together, they built a home rooted in faith, family, and unwavering devotion.

Eloise accepted Christ at a young age and remained a faithful servant throughout her journey. She was a devoted member of Highland Heights Church of Christ, where she served in the Culinary Ministry, volunteered with the youth, chaperoned events, and taught Teen Bible Study. Eloise lived a life marked by faith, resilience, wisdom, and a generous heart.

Eloise Davis Collins leaves to cherish her memory her devoted husband, Ivory Collins: Ronrico Davis (Shelia Davis), Derrick Walker (Chanda Walker), Sheneka Mustipher, Omario Sutton (Toccara Sutton), Natasha Busby (Derek Busby), Larkiel Lewis, and Marcia Lewis. She was a proud grandmother to twenty-five grandchildren, each one a source of immense joy.
