Kathy Davis

General Manager

I have recently taken the role of General Manager, I love people, and still enjoy the contact I have with customers on a daily basis. I took two years off to care for my husband’s Grandmother until the Lord took her home at 92. Before that I worked for three years as a customer service representative enjoying every moment of talking with customers taking their orders.  I especially love having the freedom at Accolade to give a word of encouragement and being allowed to pray with anyone that has a need whether it be a team member or a customer.

I was born in Michigan but have lived in Florida most of my life. For about 4 years I lived on the coast in Mississippi and served as church secretary for Bayou Talla Fellowship of Kiln, MS., losing most everything in hurricane Katrina in 2005 my husband and I decided to relocate back to Florida. We were very blessed and the Lord provided jobs within weeks, one of which was Accolade Chem Dry. I am a part of the family at Accolade because of our bond through Christ, one of my co-workers Fran was actually my Sunday School teacher through junior high and has remained a mentor yet today!

I love the Lord and enjoy serving him both at work and church! I love to sing and spend time with my husband and family! I fully enjoy entertaining people in my home, cooking & baking for any reason. If and when I find the time I enjoy reading Christian novels. I truly believe I need the Lord & His Word daily and because of Him I pray to make a difference in someone’s life and at Accolade Chem Dry.
