Carmen Elaine Davis, 74, was always at home with her Lord Jesus Christ, even before her death on Monday, June 15, 2026. She died after a short illness in an Ocala, Florida, hospital.

Carmen was born on June 21, 1951, in Charlotte, North Carolina to William and Pansy Baumgartner. She was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by her mother and stepfather, Ray Faust, a battalion commander with the city of Pittsburgh Fire Department.

After graduating from Carrick High School, she moved to Cleveland, Tennessee where she earned a B.S. degree from Lee University. She worked as a graphics designer for the World Missions Department of the Church of God in Cleveland.

Carmen is survived by her husband, David; sisters Teresa Faust and Gretchen Poland; very special aunt Pauline Neil; and her many nieces and nephews, whom she cherished.

Her many friends all described Carmen as someone everyone loved. She made people feel loved and made those who knew her laugh often. Her smile was infectious. Her giggle was so sweet. Her longtime pastor, Rev. Mitchell Baker, said, “Many times she quoted from the blessing we used at church, which she said no one had ever told her: ‘God is not mad at you.’ No, He is not, Carmen. In fact, He is showing you how much he loves you.”

Jesus, we thank you for delivering your servant, Carmen, from all evil and setting her free from every bond so that she may rest with all your saints in the eternal habitations, where with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
