Those eyes of yours were always sparkling and you always had a smile and a hug for all those around you. We always knew that there was someone from our church family that would always remember our birthdays, anniversaries and other special days and that would be there to pray for us no matter how small or big or how many times we would call. You always sent prayers and love with your cards to fill our hearts with joy and to comfort us when there was a need. God bless you in your new home and we cannot wait to see you when it is our turn. God bless you for the happiness you brought to all of us 🙏🤗❣ , Jim & Linda Jacobe & family

Lillie was married to my brother, Ralph. Ralph had many problems in his life because of alcohol. Lillie was so good for Ralph. He stopped drinking, got a job and they had a home. I loved Lillie and shared some sorrows she had because of him. Lillie, your mother and grandmother was a great person. God bless your family.. Shirley Anderson
