Cecelia M. (Meterko) Davis, 90, of Northern Cambria, PA died Sunday, October 30, 2022 at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, PA.
The daughter of Michael and Mary M. (Soltis) Meterko, Sr, she was born on September 13, 1932 in Raytown, Indiana, County, PA.
Cecelia was a life time member of the SS Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Urey, PA, where she was a longtime choir member.

Cecelia worked a wide variety of jobs during her career. She was employed as a seamstress for ten years at the Barnesboro Shirt Factory/Van Heusen Factory and for seven years at the Patton Shirt Factory.
For three years, Cecelia worked in the deep coal mines of the Greenwich Collieries. As a nurse’s aide, she had been employed at several Indiana nursing homes, as well as the former Mountain View Manor nursing home in Hillsdale, PA.
Cecelia greatly enjoyed being a part of her family’s dairy and beef farm, so it is not surprising that some of her favorite pastimes were vegetable gardening, canning, cooking, milking cows and going deer hunting.
An accomplished cook, she volunteered her cooking skills to assist with various functions at local churches.
