Lillian was born in Youngsville, Louisiana and has lived the past 52 years in Groves. She was happiest being with her family and worked very hard to provide love and guidance to them, especially since A.T’s passing. She was happiest when cooking for a house full of people. Lillian’s love and affection touched everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her. Her personality was almost as rich as her gravy, and you could never miss her in a room. She enjoyed hosting card games, bingo and the occasional trip to the boat.

Mrs. Lackey was preceded in death by her loving husband of 33 years, A.T. Lackey and son Brett Lackey, her parents, Maurice and Edia Dore´; sisters, Frances Richard, Eula Mae Fitch, Eula Robicheaux; brothers, Junius Dore´, Willis Dore´ and Joseph Dore´.

She is survived by her two daughters, Brenda Jenkins and her husband Jerry Jenkins of Beaumont, and Shanna Snow of Houston; grandchildren Kandice and Brenton Jenkins; her sister, Inez Arpin of Groves; and numerous extended family members.
