She was born in Marshall on 4 December 1954 to the late Arthur Martin Goode and Annie Marie Smith, where she graduated Marshall High School and married the love of her life, Jerry Wayne Davis, in 1973. Together they had two daughters, whom they loved dearly. She also raised her grandson, Brandon Davis-Jones, as if he were her own, until her passing.Elease was a retired pharmacy technician and avid Dallas Cowboys fan, who had an immense love for animals, including her two cats Sparkle and Misha, and those on the 5K Ranch, which she visited often in her free time. She also had a lifelong passion for dancing. As a child, she said she wore out many a doorknob dancing to the American Bandstand and, as an adult, she frequented many dance halls with her close friends and grandchildren. Until her very last day, she was bopping along to her favorite song, Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.
