Mary Lee Davis died of cancer last spring. She was a paraprofessional at Fouke Elementary School in Fouke, AR. More than 80 faculty members and students from the school will participate in the Komen Race for the Cure in Texarkana, TX to raise funds in her name. The walk will be held Saturday, October 20th.

The race begins at the Ben & Jane Collins Home for Women in Texarkana, TX. The walk includes a 5K Run/Walk and a 1 Mile “fun stroll.”

“We knew her as Miss Mary Lee. We didn’t even know she had a last name,” said Barham, who graduated from Fouke High School in 1999.

Former students of Ms. Davis’ are among the group that will walk on Saturday in her honor. Gerald Davis, Mary Lee’s husband is thankful that her friends at Fouke Elementary wish to honor her in this way.

“They’ve already done so much,” Gerald Davis said.
