Monica René Davison, 48, of Lawrence, passed away Monday, October 6, 2025. She was born October 11, 1976, in Lawrence, Kansas, the daughter of David Duane Davison and Deborah Ann Coffelt.
Monica had a beautiful and generous heart, always loving deeply—especially when it came to her family. She shared a special bond with her beloved border collie, Mariso. She was compassionate and selfless, often giving without hesitation, even offering her last dollar to someone in need. Monica found joy in helping others, and her kindness touched many lives.

She is survived by her children, Maya of Kansas City, Riley of Lawrence and Sophia of Lawrence; mother, Deborah Bond of Topeka; father, Dave Davison of Lawrence; brother, Brian Davison and his wife, Jamie of Lawrence; sister, Katie Barnes of Kansas City; and numerous extended family and friends.
