Mrs Molly Davids, Hundleton, 1926-2021 On Thursday 16th of December a large congregation of family and friends attended a service of celebration for the life of the amazing Molly Davids, at St Davids church Hundleton. Wife of the late Derek Davids and mother to the late Julie & Giles (daughter & son) she will be sadly missed and mourned by Herb, Lin & Geoff, Ang & Gordon, Rena & Mike and Karen (daughters & sons & daughter in law); Annika, Oliver & Louis (grandchildren) & their families Artem, Sarah & her great grandsons Aled and Sebastian; brother Reggie and sister Bena, brother in law Stuart and many nieces & nephews! The service was led by Reverend Josh Maynard with the eulogy read by Oliver, (grandson) and a tribute given by family friend Keith Wheeler with heart warming slide show compiled by Louis (grandson). The stories told about her long and action-packed life were both joyous and uplifting and reflected her kindness and zest for life! Molly was a dedicated Christian who always found time for people and for helping others through her generosity and good humour. She was friendly, caring and kind and over the years raised large amounts of money in aid of the church with her Open Garden Days and the organising of Flower Festivals. Her large garden was her passion - it was colourful & bright and a real testimony to her hard work and love of nature. She was an amazing cook and cake maker and many bridal couples chose to have their wedding cakes created and decorated by her. A founding member of Hundleton's W.I. she enjoyed this summer's gathering to celebrate its 70years - when she read out the minutes of the very first meeting. A trip to a Buckingham Palace Garden Party back in the 1960's was another great highlight and privilege for her. Molly was a member of the Mother's Union and local Gardening Club. She was a great story writer and poet and winner of many literary prizes over the years. She possessed so very many talents and had the ability to instil confidence in others in her own calm and innovative way. 'a fantastic lady'; 'such a wonderful person, intelligent, kind, calm - even regal'; 'much loved and respected'; 'such a lovely and special lady, she will be greatly missed'; 'always welcoming, smiley, and remarkably strong'; ' privileged to have known her and enjoyed her warm & friendly company'; 'a real lady and a fashion icon, someone to look up to'; 'a well loved & respected member of the community'; ' a more sincere and genuine person you couldn't wish to meet'; 'dedicated and determined, always ready to help others'; 'charming and sophisticated, a beautiful soul' - just some of the many wonderful comments written about our lovely mum. Unique and clearly loved by family and so many friends - we thank you all for your wonderful support. Such a great loss to us all, but a life well lived - for 95 very full years. The coffin bearers were Oliver Davies, Louis Davids-Watson, Artem Penner, Barry Hathway, Tony Richards & Huw Richards. The family would like to thank Rev Josh Maynard for conducting the service with warmth & understanding; Mr Eric Scourfield for playing the organ; Patrick Russell for his help; the caterers from Lamphey Hall and the W.I. Members for all their hard work; John Roberts and Son Funeral Directors for dignity & kindness; the florists from Sandyhill Nurseries for the beautiful floral bouquets and Sir Elton John & Ed Sheeran for their song 'Merry Christmas', for being both sad but uplifting. God bless - Our Beautiful Mum.
