Life and Legacy:

Lillian lived a full and creative life. She was an artist at heart who enjoyed ceramics during their heyday

and crafted exquisite Christmas ornaments from chicken and duck eggs that became treasured family

keepsakes. She loved tending her flower beds, painting, traveling, and spending time with those she

loved. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she shared that love of the Lord with her family and

friends.

When her children were growing up, Lillian made sure her family was in church every Sunday morning

at Frayser Baptist Church, where they made many wonderful friends and memories. After moving from

Frayser, she visited several other churches before finding a spiritual home at Ellendale Baptist Church,

which she loved dearly and where she developed many lasting friendships.

Her favorite travel companion and dear friend, Joy Bomar, joined her on many beautiful adventures that

brought her great joy over the years.

Lillian’s warmth, creativity, and faith will be remembered by all who knew her. She leaves behind a

legacy of love, laughter, and beauty that will continue to inspire her family for generations to come
