Hannah (Luna) Deborah XiaoShan Davis

Hannah “Luna” Deborah XiaoShan Davis, 25, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, passed away on August 26, 2024.

Luna was born in Guangzhou, China before being adopted at the age of 2 by her parents, Gary and Deborah Davis.  After graduating from high school, she went on to study Women’s and Gender Studies at West Chester University.

After graduating college, Luna held a role as an adoption coordinator. She took great pride in meeting kids where they were in the foster system and doing all she could to place them in loving homes.

Luna was a passionate, creative, and gifted artist. She had a unique eye for seeing the beauty in people, plants, and the world around her. With a deep connection to nature, she was known to surround herself with butterflies, moons, plants, and other reminders of the emergent possibilities within us all. She shared that passion and light with everyone she encountered, whether through a flash of her bright smile, a thoughtful question or written word, the stroke of a paintbrush, or a fabulous makeup look. She believed in being your truest self and modeled that journey and the bravery it requires for us all.

Luna was predeceased by her father Gary Davis, Grandparents David and Sylvia Bean and Arlene and Wayne Davis, and Cousin Andre Veatch.  She is survived by her mother, Deborah Davis-Gayley (Bruce Gayley), brothers Matthew Davis and Joshua Davis (Stephanie Davis and Brielle Davis), sister Alisha Davis (Andrew Krotowski), step sister Sandra Garrity (Timothy Garrity), nephews Mason and Ollie Davis, niece Bailey Davis, many loving Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, her beloved cat Ava, and a host of other family and friends.
