Arlington, TX- Mary Illges "Lily" Starbuck Faron passed away on May 21, 2018, in Arlington, Texas after a brief illness.
She was born September 23, 1946 in Atlanta, GA to John Emerson and Elizabeth Hurt Starbuck. The family moved to Columbus, GA in 1948 where Illges attended Clubview Elementary and Columbus High School. Her college career began at Randolph Macon College, Ashland, VA and her Junior year transferred to, and graduated from Emory University, Atlanta, GA.
Illges was a free-spirited woman who loved to travel and explore new places and experiences. She lived in London, Tehran, California, Louisiana and Texas and later in life she decided that she wanted to be known as Lily; her siblings opine that she wanted a name that people were familiar with and could spell. Her family and friends were her pride and joy and she will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter Ana Lucas and her husband Josh; grandchildren Andrew Huze, Sarah Lucas, Alexander Lucas and siblings John E. Starbuck, III, Elizabeth Starbuck Booher and Margaret Starbuck Fox.
A Celebration of Life & Memorial Service will be held in Columbus, GA on Saturday, June 23, 2018, at 11:00 am. in the Illges Chapel at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 2101 Wildwood Ave.
