Meet Your Neighbors

Meet Your Neighbors – Steve and Nancy Davy

By Pam Price

Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Steve and Nancy Davy as we remained socially distanced in our golf carts. They are the first couple to share a bit about themselves from our community for this returning column, Meet Your Neighbors. Steve and Nancy moved to Del Tura from Elmira, New York back in 2009, after vacationing in the area since the 1980’s. They fell in love with Del Tura the first time they arrived and met Lynne Miller. Three years later, they bought and moved in! Eleven years later, even during a pandemic where everything is shut down, they still love it here!

Nancy and Steve were married in 1972, after being introduced by Nancy’s brother. Steve went to work as a grocery bagger and within six months was as Assistant manager in the grocery business, claiming the youngest person to hold that position at that time. Nancy worked varying jobs while raising their children, and ultimately ended up at the Pleasant Valley Wine company, from which she retired last year. Steve stayed in the grocery business initially, when they purchased a grocery business, named “The American Dream” which they operated through 1997, while purchasing and starting a Bar and Restaurant in 1995. Steve and Nancy both mentioned the best part of their business’ were their customers.

Nancy and Steve are both active in the Del Tura community. Both are avid golfers and enjoy the people that live here. There was a common theme of their enjoyment and appreciation of people around them. They shared the favorite part of their business was the people and the favorite part of Del Tura is the people.

Nancy has had a passion for writing for much of her life. She has brought this passion to Del Tura, via the recently formed Del Tura Creative Writer’s Group. She is well-qualified to lead this group and share the many benefits of putting pen to paper, as she recently published two books. One was written after the loss of her Mother and is titled: Tears from my Pen. She shared this book provided much needed grief therapy to get her through a very sad time in life. Prior to writing that collection of poems, she started writing a Romance novel, which she also just finished this past year. That book, How Far We Have Come, was also recently published. Both are e-books, available at Amazon, Kindle, and other online bookstores. Congratulations on your success, and how cool is it that we now have another published author here at Del Tura!

The Davys are looking forward to the return of normalcy, especially golf here at Del Tura. Until then, they, like most of us are making the best of the situation. In fact, since our sit-down, Nancy shared that she has finished the sequel to How Far We Have Come and expects to have that published shortly.
