Lenora Davis

About Lenora Davis:
Lenora Davis is the Music Director at Shiloh Baptist Church in Ashland. She is also the Music Director of the Ashland Community Chorus. If you are lucky, you’ve heard the Ashland Community Chorus at Ashland’s 4th of July celebration, or the Ashland Strawberry Faire. The group recently performed at the Black History event last Saturday night at John Gandy Elementary School.

Come out to the Ashland Musical Variety Show on March 19, 20 and 21, and you will see Lenora and this terrific choir perform. Lenora has lived in Hanover County for 18 years. She met and married her husband here in Hanover. Lenora loves Ashland/Hanover because it is a “very quiet, friendly” country style of living. Lenora’s role model is her mom, the “most caring woman” and a woman who is loved by everyone. Her favorite childhood cartoon is “Woody Woodpecker.” Lenora considers herself both a cat and a dog person, but she prefers dogs. Her favorite author is Danielle Steele. Lenora is most proud of earning a college degree 31 years after graduating from high school. She is also proud of her family, her church and her community. Lenora is especially proud of her daughter, Jessica who is following in her footsteps. When she isn’t playing piano or directing music groups, Lenora works for Dominion Virginia Power. If Lenora could go anywhere in the world, she would go to Maldives. Her favorite place to visit is a beach, like St. Croix or cruising to the US Virgin Islands. If she could talk to any historical figure (real or fictional), it would be Mahalia Jackson. Lenora would ask Mahalia, “You sang in front of thousands of people, what about speaking in front of the same?” Lenora’s philosophy of life can be summed up by Ralph Marston, “Being genuinely happy is a powerful way to express your confidence and your expectation that positive things will happen. And when you confidently expect the best, that’s precisely what you get.”
