Delaina Jackson

Davis

Delaina Jackson Davis, 64, of Atlantic Beach, was born June 5, 1962, in Cumberland County. She passed away peacefully on September 29, 2026.

A graduate of West Carteret High School, Wilson Community College, and Emmanuel College, Delaina lived with strength, compassion, courage, and abiding faith. Her love for the Lord sustained her through life’s greatest joys and most difficult trials. She faced years of illness with unparallelled resilience and her strength of spirit was astounding to the very end.

Delaina was kind and welcoming to everyone she met and was always ready to laugh, joke, and cut up with those around her. A beauty inside and out, Delaina was a true fashionista and brightened every room she entered with her incomparable style. She also loved music and had a beautiful singing voice, whether she was singing church songs or her favorite Christmas music.

Above all, Delaina treasured her family. She will be remembered as a loving mother, beloved Meme, devoted daughter and sister, and cherished “Aunt ’Naina.” Her warmth, humor, and generous spirit will forever bring joy to the many people who love her.

Delaina is survived by her parents, the Rev. Paul and Elaine Jackson; her children, Jessica Reginaldi (John), Christopher Davis (Katie), Holly Davis, and Ben Davis (Carleigh); her grandchildren, Sophia, Madelyn, Chandler, Zoey, and Callahan; her sister, Dawn Briley (Darren); her brother, Kevin Jackson (Lisa); and many loving nieces, nephews, in-laws, and extended family members.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Gregory Davis, and their son, Kyle, who passed away in infancy.

Though she will be deeply missed, her family takes comfort in knowing that she is now at home with the Lord and reunited with Greg and Kyle.

A graveside service to honor Delaina’s life will be held at 4 p.m., Thursday, October 1, at Gethsemane Memorial Park in Newport, NC.
