Obituary

Laura Allison Davis (Leah bat Yosef v’Ruth), 60, of Lake Forest, IL, passed away on January 31, 2025. She was the outstanding mother to Jared Molk (Lindsay) and Noah Molk (Dani) and shined in her proudest role as “Glaura,” to her granddaughter Margot. She was a loving partner to her beloved Steve Kagan, and is also survived by her mother Ruth Davis, siblings Marc Davis (Sonia), Jan Rabin (Chris), and nephews. She is also survived by her infamous and sweet brown Newfoundland, Boomer. Laura’s memories of her father, Joe Davis, were a great source of comfort; since his passing, he visited her daily in the form of red cardinals.

Laura’s love of travel filled her life with adventure and infused her being with cosmopolitan worldliness. Curious and sharp, she always paid attention to the details, was generous with compliments and loved to laugh. Her love and talent for design, art, food and entertaining were constants. There was always an extra seat for guests at her table, thoughtfully adorned – regardless if it was Thanksgiving or just an ordinary Tuesday. Her mac and cheese and from-scratch key lime pie were second to none. She was also a devoted caretaker to her canine companions, Beauregard and Buddy, with whom she is undoubtedly walking over the rainbow bridge.

Laura graduated the University of Michigan (’86) and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law (’89) with honors, and took her talents to then-upstart LR Development. She became Head of Sales and Marketing and alongside cherished colleagues, grew the business tremendously. Her legacy continues in thoughtfully designed buildings across Chicago’s skyline.

Through every chapter of her life, Laura’s devotion to her sons and their happiness was her north star. She was their fiercest advocate, she showed them the world, and supported them unconditionally. From the day she was born, her granddaughter Margot was the light of her world.
