| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Friday, July 24, 2015 <<< >>> Feb. 21, 1916 – July 17, 2015 <<< Felicia was born Felicia Ramona Moreno Lopez to a family of 12 in Cifuentez, Cuba to Pedro Moreno and Magdalena Lopez Moreno. She came to the U.S. as a young girl and married Oris Lee Davis II, who was in the Army and stationed in Florida. They had six children, four girls and two boys who were almost all born in different states, wherever he was stationed. Felicia taught herself English by reading the newspaper, studied hard and became a naturalized citizen of the United States. She was very proud of that accomplishment. She never returned to Cuba. She was a talented seamstress and could copy any pattern just by looking at a picture. She worked at Genisco Technology in Long Beach, Calif., for over 25 years and drove an hour and a half each way to work from Simi Valley. She retired when she was 72 years old, only because she was laid off. Oris and Felicia divorced after 25 years of marriage and she finished raising her children on her own; often working three jobs at a time to make ends meet. She never remarried and dedicated her life to her children. Felicia was predeceased by her daughter, Virginia (Ginger) Johnson and her ex-husband Oris Lee Davis II. She leaves behind her children, Connie (Jerry) Boyce of Lake Havasu City, Pearl (Dusty) Schulz of Westlake Village, Calif., LaVon Staab of Simi Valley, Calif., Alvis Davis of Grand Prairie, Texas and Oris Lee Davis III of Canoga Park, Calif., son-in-law, Ron Johnson; 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She was an amazing woman and the matriarch of our family. Her death left a large hole which can never be filled, but her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She will be forever loved and forever missed. Services were placed in the care of Rose Family Mortuary and will be, Monday, July 27 at 11 a.m., at 4444 Cochran Street, Simi Valley, CA, 93063 with burial to follow at Assumption Cemetery, 1380 Fitzgerald Road, Simi Valley, CA 93065.
