Tilly was a great friend and faithful servant at Centerville Grace Brethren Church. She served in many ways but we especially remember her in the nursery watching our kids grow up. She also had many hats serving in our ladies mission group but will be remembered as serving for many years as our treasurer. She has truly been missed. Love in Christ, the Hannahan family

I loved Til as a second mom, I went to Dayton Ohio and lived with her and nursed her back to health when she broke her hip. We remained close over the years, my children called her Mamaw Til. I will truly miss her......a very special lady.

I worked at GM (Personnel) also for many years and later was Matilda's "Avon lady". She was always smiling and had such concern for others. I was so glad she was able to be active and still driving for so many years. Matilda was blessed that she had family to oversee her needs when it was necessary for her to move from the Dayton area. May God comfort you.

I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family of Matilda. She and I worked together at Frigidaire and Delco Products for over 25 years. I was her supervisor the last ten years of her employment. I am from Jenkins, Kentucky which is in Letcher County about 60 miles south of Prestonsburg, Kentucky. When I hired into Frigidaire in July 1965 Matilda befriended me and would talk to me a lot because she knew I was nervous in my new job. I will always remember her as a dedicated, loyal, and dependable co-worker. After she retired we would go out to have dinner once or twice a year. When my Christmas card was returned about four ago I wondered what had happened to her. I then did some research and found out she had sold her home and I figured she had moved back to Kentucky. I will always have fond memories of Matilda.
