Whitney DeShan Davis

Whitney Deshan Davis, affectionately known as Pooh, Pooh Bear, Pooh Butt, Aunt Pooh and TeeTee, transitioned on Friday, Mar 21, 2025, at age 39 after fighting “the good fight” long and hard. Born on October 14th, 1985, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Pooh was truly a talented and loving person. There wasn’t anything that she couldn’t do, except sing. Pooh was creative and crafty; this was displayed in her nails, hair colors, clothing and piercings. She was also a great cook and grill master; she loved to have Game Nights, Holidays Gatherings and Cookouts to spread love and laughter with her family and friends.

Whitney was preceded in death by her mother, Debra Davis, father Tommie Davis and sister LaSheaka English and god-sister Kimberly Summons. She leaves to cherish her memory a sister, Shayla Farid; three god-sisters: Lottie Sims, Candayce Tabron-Trice and Rene’ Matthews ; three nephews: Nicholas English, Jeremy Dean and Messiah Farid; and two godsons: Javion and Jayshon Trice: and family friend, Joe Lewis, all of Little Rock, Arkansas, along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends who all love her dearly. Pooh was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She always had either a smile or something smart / rude for everyone; her personality would truly light up a room! Pooh was blessed with a helping spirit, she’d help anyone.

Although Whitney’s time with us was far too short, the impact she made will last a lifetime. Her feistiness, kindness, humor, and unwavering love for family and friends created memories that will be cherished forever. She taught us to embrace life strongly and boldly to make room for life. While our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in knowing that her spirit will live on in the lives she touched. Pooh’s light will never dim, and her love will forever be a part of us. I guess Sheaka needed you. Rest well, our beloved Pooh…you will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
