Sioned Valentine Davies (aged 49), of Newtown, passed away on Saturday, September 24, 2016 at her residence with her loving husband and family by her side.

Beloved wife of Dyke Davies, devoted mother of Manon and Matthew, and daughter of Jean and Alun Evans of Powys, Wales, she succumbed to metastatic breast cancer after a prolonged struggle to overcome the disease.

Having spent her early life in Wales, Sioned spoke fluent Welsh and was proud of her Celtic heritage. She graduated from Aberystwyth University with a BA in history and moved to London, to pursue a career in personnel management. There she met her husband, Dyke, and they married in the summer of 1991. Over the years they moved and lived all around the world including London, Moscow, New York, Melbourne, and most recently, Newtown, PA, developing countless friendships along the way.

Sioned took great pride in being a loving wife, mother, and friend, and was devoted to her children. Caring for her family brought her immense fulfillment and she never allowed her illness to slow her down or keep her from being her beautiful self. She was a creative spirit, making pottery and playing tennis, but mostly enjoying the friendship and fun that these activities brought to everyone involved. She adored dogs especially her beloved K-9 companions, Dodger and Noodles, and their friend, Liffey. She will be dearly missed but certainly never forgotten.

In addition to her husband, children, and parents, Sioned is survived by her brother, David.

Her services and interment will be held privately.
