Deidra Elaine Lilly went to be with the Lord on September 21, 2025, at the age of 56. 

Born on June 26, 1969, Deidra lived a life marked by love, faith, and quiet strength. Her presence touched the lives of many, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her devoted husband of many years, Keith Lilly; her beloved daughter, Crystal Workman and son-in-law, Chris Workman; and her three cherished granddaughters, Cryslynn, Zoey, and Temperance, who brought so much joy to her life.  Deidra also leaves behind her loving parents, Jackie and Aubrey Baker; her sisters, Dianna Metzger (Joe) and Danna Franklin; along with many nieces, nephews and cousins who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Deidra's life was a reflection of her deep faith, enduring love for her family, and her gentle, giving spirit. Her warmth, laughter, and kindness will be remembered always.
