Obituary

Fern Bomchill Davis, age 74

Beloved wife of the late Samuel B. Davis. Loving mother of the late Bradley Benton Davis. Dear sister of Albert Bomchill and the late William Bomchill. Cherished aunt of Eugene Bomchill, Elline (Daniel) Eliasoff, Jeff (Jackie) Bomchill, Mark (Judie) Bomchill and Renee Bomchill. Great aunt of nine nieces and nephews. Graveside service Tuesday 1:30PM at Westlawn Cemetery (Memorial Section), 7801 W. Montrose Ave., Norridge. There will be a memorial service following the interment at 3PM at Temple Sholom, 3480 N. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL 60657. For almost 50 years, Fern practiced law in the litigation group of Mayer Brown LLP, joining the firm in 1972 as an associate following her graduation from the University of Chicago Law School. She was promoted to partner in 1979 and formally retired from the partnership in 2018. Fern stayed on with the firm as Senior Counsel until her passing. Fern Bomchill was a mensch in every sense of the word. She was selfless, even when faced with the greatest adversity. She lived a life of purpose, honor, and integrity — traits that are increasingly rare. Many of us at Mayer Brown owe the development of our professional judgment and our commitment to each other to the example Fern set for us as a lawyer, partner, and good friend. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to American Brain Tumor Association, 8550 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Chicago, IL 60631, https://www.abta.org/, Susan G. Komen, 13770 Noel Road, Suite 801889, Dallas, TX 75380, https://www.komen.org/community/illinois/greater-chicago/, or Skokie Community Foundation, 8022 Lincoln Ave, Skokie, IL 60077, https://skokiecommunityfoundation.org.
