Randy Travis’ Wife Mary Davis Reveals She Refused to Pull the Plug on Country Icon Following Stroke

When country icon Randy Travis wed second wife Mary Davis, he married the gal who’d saved his life because two years earlier, she courageously refused to pull the plug on the “I Told You So” singer when docs said all hope was lost.

The seven-time Grammy winner, now 66, who divorced manager-wife Elizabeth Hatcher after 20 years of marriage in 2010, and Mary, 65, had been friends for decades when his life turned into a nightmare and he suffered a devastating stroke in July 2013.

Mary refused to leave his side and at one point, she said during an interview with Fox News Digital, his vital signs plummeted, his blood count plunged, he was stricken with a staph infection and three other viruses, and docs said it was time to pull the plug.

But Mary went into a fierce “mamma bear” mode refusing to give up and was convinced that he was still fighting.

“That’s when I went to him,” she recalls. “That was the moment that I knew that Randy Travis was gonna make it because he squeezed my hand and a tear went down his face. And I said, ‘He’s still fighting.’”

Looking back, she believes “there was never a doubt in Randy’s mind that he could make it through it.

“It was that magical moment that I went to his bedside when they said, ‘We need to pull the plug. He’s got too many things going against him at that point.’

“And the doctors were just saying, ‘He just doesn’t have the strength to get through this.’”

But she adds, “I knew at that point in time, because he had every odd in the world against him, and he wasn’t giving up. And I was so encouraged by that, to be honest.”

Randy was out of the hospital five months later in November and despite gloomy predictions that he’d be bedridden and unable to speak for the rest of his life, he can walk unaided short distances and his speech has somewhat returned.

Mary and Randy tied the knot in 2015 and they have attended several red carpet events like last year’s Kentucky Derby.

While her will and determination saved his life at his darkest moment, she now calls him “my inspiration.”
