Mary Davis, who was the maître d at the Top of the Park Restaurant and an employee at the Isle Pompano Park, passed away on December 23, 2014. She was 67.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Davis had come to the United States nearly 25 years ago and worked all that time at Pompano Park. She had been married to Pompano/Saratoga horseman, Emmett ‘Jeb’ Davis for nearly 23 years.

Cremated per her request, after this week’s services, Mary’s ashes will be taken back to Ireland.

She was so well liked and known by everyone. She wore many hats in the food and beverage department and never turned down a request for help.

She was honoured by the Florida chapter of the United States Harness Writers Association in 2008 with the Dan Gawlas Good Guy Award.

There will be an ‘Irish Wake’ hosted by her family on Thursday, January 15 at the Golf View Estates Clubhouse at 901 NW 31st street in Pompano Beach from 6 to 9 p.m.

Everyone is invited to bid Mary farewell as she would like you to do. All who knew Mary are welcome.

Then, on Sunday, January 18, there will be a special memorial race in Mary’s name and everyone is invited to come out and be part of the winner’s circle presentation.
