Lillian Ishihara Davies, a beloved daughter of God, peacefully entered the arms of our Lord May 31, 2025, at her home in Harvey, LA, surrounded by her loving children. Her life was a testament to unwavering devotion as a dedicated wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. Her gentle spirit, boundless kindness and warm spirit were a blessing to all who knew her.
She is profoundly missed and fondly remembered by her family, including her daughters Crystal Elbe and Dina Sawyer, and their husbands Lasse Elbe and Richey Sawyer. Her cherished grandchildren are Brianna Morrison, Thomas Sawyer, Christian Sawyer, Robert Sawyer, and Ethan Elbe. Lillian is also survived by her beloved siblings, Harumi Baker, Benjamin Ishihara (and his wife, Terry Ishihara), and her brother-in-law Thomas Davies along with numerous nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews.
Lillian is now joyfully reunited with those who preceded her in death: her beloved husband, Robert, whose presence she missed dearly; her parents, Shomei and Toshi Ishihara; her brothers Gus Ishihara and Kenneth Ishihara; and her sisters Laura Ishihara, Carolyn Miyashiro, and Miyoko Maeda. Together, they welcome her with open arms into everlasting peace.
