Lillie M. Pressey

Lillie married Bob Pressey in 1973, and together they raised four children. Lillie loved her family deeply. Those who knew her often spoke of how easily she welcomed others, she was someone who never met a stranger.

In her working years, Lillie served as a Quality Control Inspector for Delco until retirement. For many years she enjoyed volunteering at the nursing home during her free time, and took pride in doing so.

Faith and simple joys shaped the rhythm of her days, she was a previous member of Gethsemane Tabernacle. She was a devout Christian and loved serving the Lord. She found joy in gardening and birds, and cherished the bird houses her husband built for her. She loved being outdoors, fishing, camping, and spending time with her dogs.

At home, Lillie’s hands were rarely still. She sewed and crafted, cooked and baked, and took particular pride in her homemade bread. She always made sure someone was there to snap a picture of it before it was gone. Lillie tried to preserve the memory of all parts of her life, not just her cooking. She used the same camera for many years, always capturing moments for her family to look back on.

She will be missed by all who knew her.

Lillie is survived by her children Renee Wade, Dave Harris, Charles Harris, and Michael Pressey; as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents Lillie is preceded in death by her husband Robert "Bob" Pressey and her brothers Ancil Rhodes and Ernest Rhodes.
