My condolences to Lillie Bell’s family. She was one of my favorite customers when I worked at Century. She would call me worried if she couldn’t make it to the bank to roll her CD over. I told her not to worry I would take care of it for her. She was always going to call Pat and tell him the rates were to low. She was full of spunk. 97 years is a long life that has had many changes. Some that her great grandchildren can’t imagine. She has left a beautiful legacy and wonderful memories that you will have with you forever. What a beautiful life she had. Fondly, Peg Cooper

My condolences to Lillie Bell’s family. She was one of my favorite customerswhen I worked at Century. She was always full of spunk. She would call me if the weather was bad concerned about a CD that was due and she couldn’t make it in. She was always going to call Pat and tell the rates were terrible. I loved her name. She has left a legacy of life and memories for you to carry her in your heart forever. 97 years is a long life and what she has seen change in her lifetime. Fondly, Peg Cooper
