On Thursday, Martina Davis Correia, 44, died after a long battle with breast cancer, according to her family.
Diagnosed with breast cancer at 31, while dealing with her own terminal health, Correia fought for 22 years to save the life of her brother, Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis.
Troy Davis was convicted and sentenced to death for the August 1989 murder of off-duty Savannah Police officer Mark MacPhail.
After years of appeals, Davis was executed by lethal injection on September 21.

Rep. John Lewis issued the following statement upon hearing that Correia had died…….
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Martina Davis-Correia. The agony of this death sentence and execution has killed not just one man, but has decimated an entire nuclear family. After 22 years of struggle, Davis’s mother died in the spring, her son was killed by the state of Georgia in September, and now her daughter has died. Correia was a brave and courageous woman who was her brother’s most stalwart advocate for clemency. She was angel of mercy who sacrificed her health to win her brother’s life.
SAD!!!
