From San Antonio-Ann B. Davis won over generations of TV viewers as Alice Nelson, the fun-loving, quick-witted housekeeper in the hit 1970s-era comedy "The Brady Bunch."
Her spunky personality and Hollywood success laced eulogies at her private funeral Friday morning at her home parish, St. Helena's Episcopal Church in Boerne, Texas.
Yet, the gathering focused memories on what the speakers called Davis' exemplary devotion to her faith, especially her decision in mid-career to leave Tinseltown and join an Episcopal community in Denver.
Davis, who died June 1 after suffering a fall at her home in San Antonio, was 88.
"The media had a field day" recalling her acting career, said William Frey, 84, a close friend and retired Episcopal bishop, during the homily. "But most of them have missed out on the one thing that has driven her for the last 40 years, and that is her faith."
