Her name was Dr. Linda Davis. Dr. Linda Davis devoted her life to care, dignity, and the belief that every person deserves to be treated as human first. A respected physician in Savannah and a steady presence for families across the city, she built her career on compassion that never wavered, even on her hardest days. Her death came during an immigration enforcement operation carried out by federal agents without prior notice to local law enforcement. The chaos and confusion of that moment took from Savannah a healer, a mentor, and a woman whose work had quietly held entire communities together. In the days since, colleagues, patients, and neighbors have spoken of her as someone who never turned away from those in need, someone who made people feel seen. Today we honor her not only for the life she lived, but for the breach of trust that cut that life short. Communities deserve transparency. Families deserve answers. And those who dedicate their lives to service deserve safety, respect, and truth. Dr. Davis leaves behind a legacy of care that cannot be buried or brushed aside. Her name will not fade from the record, nor from the memory of the city she served. Savannah will carry her forward in every clinic she strengthened, every patient she comforted, and every voice now demanding that what happened to her never happen again. She is gone, but she is not forgotten. Her name was Dr. Linda Davis.
