The Buffalo News reports that the Seneca, New York pair married as
teenagers and were together for 20 years before
they divorced in 1964
after four children together.The Buffalo couple met in Chattanooga, Tennessee back when they were teens. Their oldest daughter, Johnnie Mae Funderbirk – is a big reason they’re back together, the report said.
Funderbirk encouraged her father to move from Colorado back to New York after his second wife died a few months ago, where she hoped he would reconnect with her mother.
The couple never lost touch during their 50 years apart, frequently talking on the phone (Henderson had even counseled Davis’ then-new wife on how to deal with him).
Davis popped the question – again – to Henderson over the phone after deciding to move back to New York. She said “yes,” and he soon flew to Buffalo with the engagement ring pinned to his shirt out of fear of losing it during the flight.
Davis and Henderson will tie the knot again on Saturday, August 4 at a church in Seneca.
However, the jury is still out on whether or not remarrying the spouse is a good idea.
They've proven that not only is it never too late to find love, but also that sometimes you find it in very unexpected places.
Quit happy for them. But me still think they are kinda trying to create a record
