Jean L. Davis, 74, of Lacon died on July 30, 2014 at 6:35pm at the Richard L. Owens Hospice Home in Peoria. Jean Stange was born on January 2, 1940 to the late Raymond and Cecelia Engelbrecht Stange and raised in Henry. She married Earl Davis on July 2, 1960; he passed away on June 11, 1994.
She is survived by her daughter Anita (Kelly) Thul of Bloomington, son Errol (Karen) Davis of Peoria, brother Raymond (Debbie) Stange of Henry, sisters Patricia (Frank) Poskocil of Lombard, Rita (Lewis) Simpkins of Henry, Jan (the late Tom) Simpkins of Henry, Margi Koors of St. Louis, and Sharon Bumgardner of Henry.

As a public official, she unwaveringly strove to do what was right and best for others. Her siblings, children and grandchildren will miss her kind nature and heartfelt laugh. A lover of travel, Jean traveled the world enjoying gardens and the company of friends and family.
