Alice of the Brady Bunch Shares Her Faith

Alice from the Brady Bunch (Ann B. Davis) shared her Christian faith with our family.

"What kind of greedy am I?"

This question haunted Ann B. Davis during the height of her television fame. 

Davis was a popular television personality, first on the successful Bob Cummings Show and later on the Brady Bunch. She'd won the coveted Emmy, had a lovely Hollywood home, and had money to buy anything she wanted. But while filming the Brady Bunch, she began feeling an emptiness.

That's when Davis discovered that Jesus could satisfy her inner longing for something more: "I had it all," she'd say with a smile, "but God made me a better offer."

Ann stayed in our home in 1984 when she shared her story with our military wives fellowship at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. 


She explained that happiness does not come from career, wealth, or fame. She had all of those things, but she was not content until she found Jesus (John 10:10). Ann eventually gave up her home and lived in an Episcopalian community for the remainder of her life.

Her humble attitude and cheerful spirit made her a joy to have in our home.

"God has no taste!" she would laugh. "He loves everybody. We are stuck with the love of the Creator of the Universe!"

Ann went to see her Creator face-to-face on Sunday, June 1, 2014. She was 88. If you would like to read the 1984 article I wrote for the local Leavenworth, Kansas, newspaper see Ann B. Davis' Testimony.
