Qua’Nylan, also known as “Nhy” or “Ny” was born on March 13, 2001 in Peoria, IL to Quarynor and NaKisha (Davis) Thomas. Qua’Nylan was a 2019 Manual Academy graduate. She was a member of the cheerleading team for all four years, track team and Jr. ROTC. Qua’Nylan was member of Grace Baptist Church where she was a Junior Usher, Praise Dancer and Choir member. She was a Praise Dancer with the Youth-In-Motion at South Side Mission. Qua’Nylan leaves to cherish her most precious memories, her parents, Quarynor and NaKisha Thomas of Peoria, IL; one daughter, La’Nhy Alexander of Peoria, IL; one brother, Dionte Mitchell of Denver, CO; eight sisters, Shaquayla Albert of Peoria, IL, Corrine Graves of Houston, TX, Starmeaka Thomas and Chassidy Lewis both of Peoria, IL, Janaesha Ross of Norfolk, VA, Qua’Nanda Thomas, Aniya Jackson and Zariah Edwards all of Peoria, IL; her special friend, Orlando Alexander of Peoria, IL; her grandparents, Anna Zolicoffer and Delois Williams both of Peoria, IL and Johnny Thomas, Sr., of York, AL; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends who all adored her. She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Robert Davis and her brother, Shypriece Davis. A private funeral service will be held at 1 pm on Friday, October 9, 2020 at Grace Baptist Church with a visitation beginning at 12 Noon. Pastor Claude L. White, Jr. will bring words of comfort to the family. Qua’Nylan will be laid to rest at Parkview Cemetery. Simons Mortuary is entrusted with arrangements. Online condolences may be made at SimonsMortuary.com. 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 the time of the service. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, social distancing and attendance limits will be observed. The sanctuary 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. 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 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.
