Betty Myrl Victoria Davis (1938 – 2001) was a Jamaican immigrant and a resident of Elmont, served as a crossing guard for nine years at PS 147 and Sacred Heart Roman Catholic School, both in Cambria Heights. She braved snow, sleet and rain but always enjoyed the sunshine in reporting to work to protect children every day, from the hazards of the road. Davis was a long-time member of the Hollis Avenue Congregational Church, where she served as president of the Chancel Choir and Sunday school teacher. She was a member of the church’s charismatic prayer group and coordinated children’s plays. She died performing her duties as a school crossing guard at the intersection of 221st Street and 115th Road which has been renamed in her honor.
