Marjorie Ann Jocham, 92, Vero Beach

December 17, 1929 – January 23, 2022

Marjorie Ann Jocham of Vero Beach, FL – 92, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2022, at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Memorial Hospital in Vero Beach, Florida.

Marge was born in Jersey City, the youngest of eleven children. She spent her early years there and in Staatsburg, NY, her family’s country house.  Marge was a proud graduate of Sacred Heart Academy, Hoboken, NJ in 1948.  After High School she attended The Laboratory Institute of Fashion Merchandise and went onto work at Chase National Bank in NYC.

Marge married the love of her life, Bob, on November 20, 1954, and started their family of 8 children soon after. She, Bob, and the family led an active lifestyle including skiing around the world from their base camps in the Berkshires and Vail, Colorado. A full supporter of her husband’s sporting and business interests, Marge and Bob traveled across the country and around the world.

After her 8 children were grown and settled, Marge was able to pursue two other loves: the sun and the beach. This led her to Florida; first to Satellite Beach and ultimately to Vero Beach. She spent her winters there and summers up in Malden Bridge, NY.  Marge, always the social butterfly, loved having lots of visitors, and spending time with family — especially when any of her 17 grandchildren came to visit. Wherever Marge was, she loved her long walks, taking her grandchildren (and children) for lots of ice cream and soaking up the sun.

Marge was a communicant at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Vero Beach, FL and St. Mary’s in Nassau, NY.

Marge is survived by seven of her children; their spouses and children below; as well as 11 great grandchildren.

Richard Ernest Davis, 94, Vero Beach

December 31, 1927 – January 19, 2022

Richard Ernest Davis, formerly of Carlisle, MA passed away peacefully on January 19, 2022 in Vero Beach, FL. Born on December 31, 1927 in New York City to William Henry and Flora Ros Davis, he was raised in Scarsdale, NY along with his brother, William Ros (predeceased in 2018). Dick attended Scarsdale High School where he discovered an affinity for the sciences; he majored in Chemistry at Cornell University and received his M.B.A from Harvard Business School. After his freshman year at Cornell, he served two years in the US Army. Dick met and fell in love with Jean Raymond while in business school, they married in 1952 and raised their two children in Carlisle, MA. Dick worked at Arthur D. Little in Cambridge for 32 years in petrochemical consulting, traveling extensively in Asia, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Mexico. Unfortunately, Jean passed away in 1990. Aside from his family, Dick’s passions included bass and blue fishing on Cape Cod, skiing in the US and abroad, traveling, reading, and gardening. Over the years Dick was deeply involved with the Episcopal Church.
Dick was lucky in love again when he met and married Carol Hume Ditzler, who he met through a mutual friend, Rev. Roger Wootton. They married in 1992, lived in Carlisle, MA and then moved to Vero Beach, FL in 2004.

Dick was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He had a superlative intellect, sparkling sense of humor, an easy grin and a kindness of spirit that will be greatly missed by all. He was predeceased by his daughter, Holly Davis Carner in October 2021, and is survived by his wife of 29 years, Carol Hume Davis, his son, Richard Ros Davis (Julia), of Chatham, MA, son-in-law, Larry Carner of Sebastian, FL, and four grandchildren: Matthew Ros, Todd Foster, Edward Raymond and Marnie Livingston Davis. He also leaves behind his three great granddaughters: Lucy Beach, Lane Holbrook and Rose Foster Davis. If Dick had one message for his family and friends, it would be “Be nice to one another because no one else will be.”

No memorial service is currently planned but will be contemplated in the future when it’s safer to do so. Richard will be buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Acton, MA.

Donations in his name may be directed to St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church in Vero Beach, FL. https://www.staugustinevero.com/giving.
