Muriel J. (Ramsdell) Davis

Muriel J. Davis passed away on Friday, April 5, 2024. A native of Cape Neddick Me, she was born to Mabel and Robert Ramsdell on September 29, 1936.

Muriel loved almost every kind of music. She was an accomplished self-taught pianist with perfect pitch and could play almost any song by ear. Her livelihood was playing various dining establishments along the Seacoast, including Cape Arundel Inn in Kennebunkport where she met George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush who resided at Walker’s Point across the street. They dined there quite often, became familiar, and on a first name basis. Mrs. Bush confided to Muriel that her husband thought she was a player- piano! Perhaps her first audience though, was at the Mt. Agamenticus one room schoolhouse where as a student, she would take requests from fellow classmates.

Muriel was pre-deceased by her parents, husband Richard, sister Esselyn (Edgar) Boucher, brother Neil (Beverly) Ramsdell, brothers Norman and R. Gordon Ramsdell, and a dear nephew, Robert Ramsdell. She is survived by daughters Virginia Davis of Portsmouth NH, Rebecca (Christopher) Gerace, granddaughter Keely Hermenau (Samuel Hager), and great- granddaughter Ellie Hager, all of Amesbury, MA, and several nieces.
