Lillian Davis
Lillian Lee Hudelson Davis,
82, of Jefferson, died Tuesday,
November 4, 2008.
Born in Pike County, Ill., on
April 1, 1926, she was the daugh
ter of Clarence Edward and Ethel
Browning Hudelson.
Mrs. Davis was a graduate of
Gent City Business College in
Quincy, Ill., and among other
positions, served as secretary to
the State’s Attorney and Court
Reporter in Carthage, Ill. She
was a former member of the
Order of the Eastern Star and
the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
Her hobbies were quilting and
crafts as well as “all things elec
tronic’’, earning her the nick
name, “Gadget Grandma”, by
her delighted grandchildren.
Her greatest joy was her family,
which although widely scattered
throughout the country, was kept
tightly knit together by the little
red cell phone that never left her
side.
Mrs. Davis was preceded in
death by her father and mother;
former spouse. Dean Franklin
Davis; a sister, Claire Evelyn
Thiele; and a brother, C.E.
“Buddy” Hudelson.
Survivors include son and
daughter-in-law, Duane and
Cindy Davis, Littleton, Colo.;
daughters and sons-in-law,
Sharon Sparrow and Shirley
Califf, both of Jefferson, Diane
and Tim Garcia, Henderson, Nev.,
and Michelle and Jeff Kilcher,
Bloomington, Ill.; grandchildren,
Barbara Burton and Holly Hix,
both of Atlanta; Drew Califf,
Rockford, Ill., Lindsay Califf,
Urbana, Ill., Kahlie Kilcher,
Bloomington, Ill.; as well as
great-grandchildren, nieces and
nephews.
The family would especially
like to recognize the Staff of
Bentley Assisted Living, where
she had resided since February,
not only the care and support she
received, but also for the joy and
laughter that staff and residents
alike shared as they dealt with
the everyday challenges of senior
living. If you didn’t have a smile
of your own, there was always
someone willing to give you one
of theirs.
Only a private memorial
will be held at a later date in
Colorado.
Individuals wishing to cel
ebrate the life and passing of
Lillian Davis may send expres
sions to the family in care of
Sharon Sparrow, P.O. Box 603,

encourages contacting Bentley

volunteering.
