Kay Allingham Davison, affectionately known as Kayzee, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2024 after a long battle with dementia. Never one to miss a party, she lived to celebrate her 81st birthday surrounded by loved ones.

Kay was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. After high school, she pursued her passion for education at UCLA - where she met her husband and countless lifelong friends. After graduating from college, Kay was a second-grade teacher before stepping down to raise her family in Laguna Beach, CA. Later in life, Kay had a fulfilling career as an Educational Consultant.

Kay was preceded in death by her mother and father Marion and John Allingham, her husband Al Davison and her daughter Whitney Davison. She is survived by her children Kristy Brown (Steve), Katy Roberts (Richard) and Dan Davison; grandchildren Fletcher, Sawyer, Annie, Lexie, Janie and countless friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Ranch in Laguna Beach on April 26th, 2024 at 11 am. She spent her final years in Evanston, IL receiving exceptional care at The Three Crowns Retirement Community. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to The Three Crowns - Employee Appreciation Fund, 2323 McDaniel Ave, Evanston, IL 60201.

Kay was responsible for putting me into an educational program. It was certainly a life changing experience, you can hear about it if you watch the Netflix show "the program." Truly someone who greatly altered my life.

My very first Kay-zee memory goes back to the Beta House, at UCLA. She was with Al-zee. 1961?? What a welcoming smile, and easy laugh. Great fun to be with... as she always would be!!! Had no idea that our children would become best friends. What a gift!!!!
Forever love, Betty Lou
