The Riverside High School Class of 1966 is greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Annie Cannon Davis. 

We were greatly honored and happy to have her in our presence one last time on September 16, 2023, as the class celebrated 57 years since our graduation from Riverside.  She looked so beautiful, vibrant, and younger than most of us! 

Mrs. Annie Cannon Davis represented a group of dedicated educators and teachers who not only taught us lessons in the classroom but also ‘lessons in life’.  We are extremely thankful God blessed us by allowing our class to give her flowers while she lived and could enjoy them. It is with sincere sympathy that we mourn her transition.  

The Riverside Class of 1966 will be forever grateful for what she instilled in our minds and lives: value of education, honor, self-worth, integrity, perseverance and love for ourselves and our race.  Her legacy will continue to shine in and through those she taught and loved!
