Mary Anna Taylor Lilley

My earliest childhood memories have Ms. MaryAnna in them. The few short years I lived in front of her made for a wonderful childhood. I always thought she was so pretty. I remember Nags Head, eating peanut butter and crackers....all day..".our mothers "making" us come inside, Halloween parties, 4th of July parades, playing in our huge sandbox, running around the pond......Keeping your family in my prayers, I know you will miss her.

What a lovely remembrance of a lady who was clearly and understandably much treasured.

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Laurence, Roy, Jo Anna, and Jim - Although it's been quite a few years back I can still remember your Mom's friendly smile and laughter during the times when we played outside (and through the house) at the 'big house on the pond.' I know that such memories, and countless more, will comfort and lift you through this time of celebration of a life well lived. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jo Anna & family - I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. She always made a giggling group of girls feel welcomed in her home. I will always remember her warmth and smile. I will have you in my prayers as you learn a new normal without your precious mother. Beth

Many years have past that we all grew up on that farm on 17. Enjoy seeing you all from time to time. Your mother was a very kind and loving lady to all who came in contact with her. Many loving memories. GOD BLESS

Laurence, Roy, Jo Anna & Jim,
Reflecting brings back many fond memories of the Lilley family. The list of adjectives to describe your Mom and Dad are endless so I'll choose two of my favorites. Generosity and Joy.

I share your sadness with you today as do so many others that were blessed to have the opportunity to know your mom. I send love to your family.

Dan and I send our heartfelt condolences to all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mother was a very special woman who always wore a smile and was respected by all who knew her. She will be truly missed but heaven has gained another angel.
