Jean I Davis

Ila Jean Davis, known fondly as Jean, passed away peacefully in her home on September 27th, 2024. Jean was born on July 23, 1929, in Portland, Oregon. She dedicated 18 years of her life to serving at the Fire Department, a testament to her commitment and hard work. Jean's proudest and most cherished accomplishments were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and fulfillment throughout her life.

She is survived by her daughter, Heidi Coleman, and her sons, Stephen Duhon and Curtis Duhon, who is married to Marti Duhon. Jean cherished her grandchildren: Chelsey Hoff and her husband Jacob, Brandon Duhon and his wife Chelsie, Heather Duhon, Jennifer Duhon, and Cameron Duhon. Additionally, she was a loving great-grandmother to Katherine Duhon, Daxton Hoff, Holden Duhon, Brooklyn Hoff, and Owen Duhon. She also leaves many other beloved family members and dear friends behind.

Jean was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John “Jack” Davis, sisters Thelma & Dolores and brothers Marion, Jimmy & Norman Hoover. She lived 64 years in her same home, located in Cardiff by the Sea, California, where she inspired those around her with her immense kindness, creativity, love, and devotion to family.

We will miss her hand-made wrapping paper bows at Christmas and her sweet voice singing “Happy Birthday” to us each every year. But we will remember her in the quiet early morning light, within the soft sounds whispered by a wind chime and in every blue/pink sunset at the closing of every day without her.
