Lillian was wonderful person. She not only talk the talk, she walked the walk. She spent her entire life caring for her family, the sick, and the community. She was such a delightful person to be around. She will be immensely missed by her family, friends, community, and church. She fought a great battle. She is now in the comforting arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Ms. Lillian, was a person who knew no stranger, a person who treated everyone she meet the same, with kindness, love and appreciation. If you knew her you would know she was truly a LADY.
I can't ever remember hearing a
bad word out of her mouth, alway joking, alway laughing. She will truly be missed in the neighborhood. A LADY always willing to help in anyway she could. Lillian, I wish everyone could be the person that you were it would be a beautiful world to live in. I will miss you and thanks for all the good advise that you gave to Joe, he loved you to.
Love You much,
Joe & Faye Drewery
