Memorial Services Planned for Late Rep. Jo Ann Davis

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Memorial services have been set for U.S. Representative Jo Ann Davis.

Davis died at her Gloucester home Saturday after a two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 57.

Davis' office said a memorial service will be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the World Outreach Worship Center in Newport News.

A funeral has been set for 1 p.m. Thursday at the Lighthouse Worship Center in Hayes.
