Net graduated from Northern High School in Detroit, MI and continued her education at Wayne County Community College.  She had worked for many years at the Internal Revenue Services in Detroit before moving to Michigan City, IN.  In Michigan City, Net worked at Weil McLain, McDonald’s and Concord Cleaners.

Net leaves to mourn her precious memories the love of her life Leonard “Range” Frierson, her two brothers Standles Davis of Moncks, S.C. and Marcus (Suprenea) Bishop Sr. of Starkville MS, niece, Tamika Davis, Detroit, MI, three special 1st cousins whom she referred to as her sisters, Mary Andrews and Yolanda (Jeff) Davis of LaPorte, IN and Annette Ware (Clyde LeGrone) of Detroit, MI, her cousins that she referred to as “her kids” Mary (Titia) Ware and LaSharia (Mike) Lemons of Michigan City, IN, a host of little cousins, who she referred to as her nieces and nephews that affectionately called her “Net Net” thanks to Jailyn, many uncles, aunts and best friends, Toniesa Fletcher, Carolyn Taylor, Lynn Stalling and Aretha Howard.  Net always mentioned her twins “Pam and Patricia”, who were lost at sea. Though they were imaginary, she was definitely a mother, aunt, sister and friend to everyone who came in contact with her.
