Margaret DeLoris (Kerr) "LoLo" Gill, 99, went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 10, 2021. She is predeceased by her late husband Harry W. Gill. She is survived by her sons, Harry Gill, Jr. and James Gill (wife Jill), grandchildren Michelle Segura (husband Rudy), David Gill (wife Stacie), and numerous great-grandchildren, all of whom contributed to her care with great love and devotion.
DeLoris was a lifelong Houstonian, born on December 12, 1921 and a graduate of Reagan High School. She was a devout Christian who taught Sunday School at Long Point Baptist and First Baptist Church. She loved gardening and feeding the birds, especially at the family retreat in Columbus. She was an incredibly devoted mother who not only took care of her own children but all of the neighborhood kids, as well.
The family would like to acknowledge the outstanding care DeLoris received in recent years from Martha Hardman and Julia Ouma at Daleport House and from Edwina Calloway Swinton. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Samaritans Purse (https://sampur.se/3jQ3d3J is her personal link); DeLoris always loved making their Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes every year. Graveside service only will be held 2:00 PM on Monday, February 22, 2021 at Forest Park Lawndale.
