Monique Denise Morehead

Maywood, Illinois. Born on July 10, 1974, in Detroit, Michigan, to Charles and Marlowe

Morehead.

Monique was known for her quiet and reserved demeanor, but those close to her were privy to

her infectious laugh, deep love for reading, and her musical talent as a flutist in her high school

marching band. She was a proud alumna of Niles High School, Niles, MI and later, Xavier

University of Louisiana, New Orleans, LA, where she graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy

degree (PharmD).

Professionally, Dr. Monique Morehead dedicated herself to the field of pharmacy, where she

was respected by her colleagues and the various pharmaceutical industry partners. However,

the light of her life was her daughter, Jocelyn. Her personal life was deeply rooted in her faith,

as a committed member of St. Luke’s Catholic Church.

Beyond her professional and spiritual commitments, Monique had a rich personal life filled with

hobbies that included traveling the world, reading, solving crossword puzzles, and attending

musicals, operas, and concerts. She was also an excellent cook and baker, often spending

time in the kitchen preparing meals for her daughter, family, and friends.

She is preceded in death by her father, Charles C. Morehead II and her mother, Marlowe D.

Morehead.

Monique leaves her daughter, Jocelyn M. Davis, in the care of her loving father, Calvin R. Davis;

and those left to celebrate and cherish her life are her sister, Michelle D. Morehead; stepfather,

Billie R. Elder and a host of beloved family and friends.

The viewing and visitation will be held on Friday October 11, 2024 from 4pm - 8pm followed by the
