BIOGRAPHY
In Loving Memory and In Honor of Her Legacy
Marilyn L Davis Passed on June 11th, 2022

Marilyn Davis was the author of her debut memoir titled "Finding North: A Journey from Addict to Advocate" and her second book "Memories into Memoir: The Mindsets and Mechanics Workbook," both released in 2011. You can support the family at this time by purchasing both online from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and many online book stores.

Marilyn recently celebrated 33 years of abstinence-based recovery before her passing. From 1990-to 2011, she opened and managed North House, an award-winning residential facility for women.

Marilyn was widely known for writing in many literary communities, including her award-winning website "Two Drops of Ink," where she encouraged many in collaborative writing. She was the Editor-in-Chief and From Addict 2 Advocate, another award-winning site where she was the Editor-in-Chief and wrote for the recovering community.

Marilyn was also a Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialist. Before reaching her goals and milestones, though, she was a desperate woman on drugs, managing rock bands at night, pretending to be okay, but ultimately giving up on herself, losing her husband, children, family, and friends due to her addiction. Her past had never defined who she was and the multitudes she has helped from addiction.

Her memoir is about that journey.

When she wasn't writing or advocating, Marilyn was an avid reader and enjoyed gardening and cooking. She had raised two beautiful grown daughters, both of whom are in recovery. Marilyn resided in the state she loved Georgia, at the time of her passing.
