Carol Hardin Davis
Carol Hardin Davis was a trailblazing professional whose career spanned finance, real estate, and community leadership. A St. Louis native, she began on Wall Street in the 1960s, rising from receptionist to head of Citibank’s pension fund—a rare achievement for women of her time. Later, she built a successful real estate career in Greenwich, New York, and Naples, earning admiration for her insight, integrity, and expertise.
An accomplished athlete, devoted mother and grandmother, and passionate supporter of charitable causes, Carol was admired for her intelligence, warmth, and strength. She passed away in Augusta, Georgia, during the Masters Tournament, remembered fondly as the “Princess of Augusta National.”
