Cedar City, Utah – Leilani Spendlove Davis, 74, died October 27, 2021, in Cedar City, Utah. She was born October 11, 1947, in Cedar City, Utah, to Elwin and Helen Russum Spendlove. She married Mazel Kay Davis on April 27, 1973, in Cedar City, Utah.

Leilani is survived by her Prince Charming Good Ol Boy: Mazel Kay Davis; children: Preston Kay Davis of Cedar City, Andrea (Eric) Hatch of Cedar City; grandchildren: Tyler Le Marr, Braxstyn Davis, Josiah Hatch, Makenzee Hatch, Tyson Hatch, Jazmin Hatch; her sisters: Elaine Reeve and Celeste Green; along with many dearly loved cousins, nieces, nephews, and brothers and sisters in law.

Leilani was raised in Cedar City, Hurricane, and Huntington Beach, California. She graduated from Huntington Beach Marina High School in 1965. She was an amazing artist with talents like painting, woodworking, crochet, and needlepoint with most of her art being displayed in her love of carousel horses. She also had an amazing sense of humor, always looking for a great joke followed by her signature laugh. She had a love of the beach and the ocean from her time growing up in California but also adored her southern Utah mountains and autumn leaves. She had many other talents such as the ability to perfectly fold a fitted sheet, make what should have been world famous gravy and tacos, the most beautifully done eyelashes you've ever seen, and could win Olympic gold in the sport of spoiling grandchildren. Leilani enjoyed many other interests such as archery, bowling, golf, and entertaining all of us with her jokes, beautiful pictures, and wine quotes on Facebook. She treasured a great conversation with a beloved friend while watching her birds outside the kitchen window, she could make the most off-color joke sound classy, and was the epitome of what it meant to be a lady.
