Lillie Peoples

As the Matriarch of the Peoples Family, Lillie gently cared for her family and friends by sharing her wisdom, her nurturing heart, and her bountiful and delicious feasts over the years. She had a boldness for life and always looked to her LORD for her strength. She was a proud mother to four beautiful children and was an even prouder grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved a good game of Pinochle – which she and her beloved husband of 56 years played with friends almost every day, after which, her game of choice became BINGO – at which she was the master because she won almost every time she played! Her beautiful sweet spirit will truly be missed but will live forever in our hearts with every smile, laughter, and tear shared.

Lillie is survived by; son L.T. Peoples Jr. (Terry); son Rodney Peoples (Delphine); daughter Denise Pelham (Teddy); daughter Tish Times (Roy); sister Etherine Morrison. She is also survived by her 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews and by the many beautiful hearts she's touched to cherish her beloved memory.

Lillie reunites now with her beloved husband L.T. Peoples, her parents Wesley and Eliza Pugh, and her firstborn grandson, Jesse Pelham.

♥ Loving Tribute ♥

We lived with my grandparents until I was about 5 years old. My grandmother would ALWAYS make a huge breakfast no matter what day it was. I remember waking up to the smell like it was yesterday. She cooked the best meals for 50 people at a time and didn’t break a sweat. She was sooo creative with how she’d give us our presents. One time she gave Derrell & I 100 dollars all in ones in a photo album. My grandmother's house was the first house I laid eyes on and played a piano. I definitely get the trait of having gatherings and people over for cookouts and just all-out feast from my grandmother. As I got older it was like clockwork for the whole family and a bunch of my grandparent's friends to gather at her house. “Foothill”... I’ll never forget that street name. Holds so many strong memories. She was the best tooth fairy ever. She spoiled us sooo much. Lol. After my grandfather passed a lot changed in my life, now that my grandmother is gone it's so significant because she was, in my mind, that piece that holds sooo many memories together from my childhood especially. I can’t lie, I wish I had gone to see her more in my adult life, that is something I’ll never live down. She was so precious... so vital to how I live life now without me even knowing. I’m soooo like my grandparents. My family went to do a drive-by party for her last week for her 88th birthday. I’ll never forget that joy on her face. I love you and miss you forever Grandmommy. ♥♥

Rest In Peace. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. Lavell Tramaine Jones
