Life and career
editA native of Detroit, she received her undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan and a master's degree in the same discipline from North Carolina State University.[2] Following the receipt of her master's degree, Davis completed her doctorate in biochemistry and plant biology. Davis studied strawberries, looking at the genetic makeup of strains that were susceptible to fungal pathogens under cold stress and those that were not.[3]
Death
editShe was one of three faculty members killed in the 2010 University of Alabama in Huntsville shooting.[4] She was 50 years old.
