Jill Ann Davis, 80, of Pentwater, passed away August 3, 2025. She was born July 1, 1945, in Hart, the daughter of Stewart and Vivian (Barkel) Dillingham.
Jill was a spit-fire in her younger years, leaving many memories and stories for her family to remember. Later in life, Jill was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but despite her diagnosis, she never let it hinder her to live the life that she enjoyed; she took it in stride, as long as her teeth and hair were just right; she was a tad particular.
Jill enjoyed traveling and going on cruises. She loved relaxing on the ships and enjoying the destinations from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Alaska. Above all, she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Locally Jill was involved with the Oceana County Red Hat Society and TOPS, meeting many friends over those years. She and her husband, Richard, were also members of Hart Congregational United Church of Christ.
Jill is survived by: her husband of 20 years, Richard Davis; children, Karla Thomas and Kriste (Tommy) Salamon; stepsons, Tod Davis and Gregg Davis; grandchildren, Lucas (Brianna) Mangold, Amanda (Troy) Lutzke, Brenda (Wade) Holt, Samantha Davis, and Sophie Davis; great-grandchildren, Logan, Lucianna, LauraLynn, and Luke Mangold, Dominick, Amberlin, David, and Natalie Garvey, Shelbe Lutzke, and Emily, Waylon, Brennan, and Jace Holt; as well as her brother, Steve (Julie) Dillingham.
Jill was preceded in death by: her parents, Stewart and Vivian Dillingham; siblings, Jaqueline Salzman and Janice Kay; her husband, Lester Hansen; and son-in-law, Daniel Thomas.
