    Evangelist Lillie M. Westerfield, 78, of Peoria, IL transitioned to her heavenly home at 5:15 PM on Monday, August 3, 2020 at OSF St. Francis Medical Center. Lillie was born on June 20, 1942 in Leland, MS to proud parents Charles B., Sr., and Rosie Lee (Davis) Davis. Lillie worked in housekeeping at Bradley University for over 30 years before retiring. Lillie was a faith-based person. She was an avid reader of any books whose material was pertinent to the Bible. Praying and talking to others about God and the Bible were her life’s mission. Lillie leaves to cherish her most precious memories her loving family which includes two sons, Matthew (Debbie) Westerfield of Crystal, MN, Otis (Sandra) Westerfield of Peoria, IL; two daughters, Rosie Westerfield of Georgetown, KY and Marilyn Westerfield of Peoria, IL; eight brothers, Charles, Jr., (Mary) Davis, Robert (Linda) Davis, Eddie (Deloris) Davis, Walter (Bertha) Davis, Bishop Leroy (Debra) Davis and Jessie Davis all of Peoria, IL, Lee Andrew (Pamela) Davis of Baton Rouge, LA and Ollie (Valarie) Davis of Smyrna, GA; one sister, Beatrice Davis of Memphis, TN; 10 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and her Pilgrims’ Progress C.O.G.I.C. Church family. She is preceded in death by her parents; four brothers, Henry, Arthur, John and Willie B. Davis; and one sister, Geraldine Davis. A private funeral service will be held at 11 am, Thursday, August 6, 2020 at Simons Mortuary with a visitation beginning at 10 am. Superintendent James Rodgers, Pastor of Pilgrims’ Progress C.O.G.I.C., will bring words of comfort. Lillie will be laid to rest at Swan Lake Memory Gardens. The funeral service will be live streamed on Simons Mortuary's Website or Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Simons-Mortuary-232095303487150 promptly at time of the service. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, social distancing and attendance limits will be observed. Simons Mortuary has been entrusted with arrangements. Online condolences may be made at SimonsMortuary.com. As the States begin re-opening in response to the Global Coronavirus Pandemic, some people are returning to their previous normal living standards. Unfortunately, we are now in our new normal as unreal and sometimes uncomfortable as the socially distancing and continuous use of protective masks may feel. *In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we ask that everyone in attendance: wear a face mask and refrain from hugging, kissing and shaking hands (as hard as it is to see someone you care about and not touch them). Thanks in advance for your cooperation! *It is our responsibility as a Funeral Directors, to do everything we can to advise families in order to honor our beloved Families and to keep everyone as safe as possible. The chapel can socially distance and seat a limit of 50 or less people. All others will be able to flow through and view prior to beginning the Celebration of Life Ceremony.
