Jean Davis Obituary
Dec 13, 1954 - Aug 8, 2022
Willard
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Jean Ann Davis (Gates) on Monday, Aug. 8, 2022, at the age of 67. Following a lengthy battle with COPD, she peacefully took her last breath with her daughter, Amanda, by her side. She was an adoring wife to the love of her life, the late Dennis Davis, who she now joins with eternally. Jean was born Dec. 13, 1954, to Arline Gates and the late Harold Gates. She was the baby sister to Janet (Joe) Androsac and Gerald Gates. She worked for pioneer Balloon Company until they closed and she returned to school to become a barber.
Jean loved cooking, mushroom hunting, playing poker, and going to the casino with her best friend, her mother, Arline. Her battle with her own medical issues and the passing of her husband showed her courage in facing life challenges with a smile and at times with her famous making of a "little beer." Her grandchildren were the light of her life and she was so proud of them. There wasn't a dog she didn't love or a stray cat she didn't welcome. She will always be remembered as a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Davis; father, Harold Gates and special companion, her beagle, Bubbs. She is survived by her daughter, Amanda (Daniel) Bowser; stepsons, Duane (Kelly) Davis and Gregg (Briana) Davis; grandchildren, Nickolas and Allyson Bowser, Mary, Madison, and Bryson Davis; mother, Arline Gates; sister, Janet (Joe) Androsac; brother, Gerald Gates; and uncle, William Eberly.
Respecting her wishes, there will be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes joined with her husband where they will be reunited and together forever. A celebration of life for them both will be arranged at a later date. Special thanks to staff at Southern Care Hospice of Milan. Please consider donating in her honor to Huron County Humane Society.
Secor Funeral Home in Willard is honored to be assisting Jean's family with arrangements. Online condolences can be left for the family by visiting www.secorfuneralhomes.com.
