Lillie was a homemaker, working summers as a cook at Methodist Conference Grounds at Depler Springs, and often as a substitute cook at Lewistown Grade School. Lillie was a member for years of the Christian Church Quilters of Fulton County. Her love of life was found in the beautiful quilts she designed and made for her many relatives and friends, still piecing them together until the day she went to the hospital. She loved people and loved having guests to her home so she could visit and entertain. She took great pride in being able to still live in her own home alone until the end.
Cremation will be accorded. A memorial service will be held at 12 Noon on Wednesday June 30, 2021 at the Cuba Christian Church with Pastor Mike Arnett officiating. A visitation will be held one hour prior to services at the church. Interment of ashes will immediately follow the services at Oak Hill Cemetery at Lewistown. A future celebration of life will be held at the LeRoy Christian Church. Memorial contributions may be made to the Cuba Christian Church or the LeRoy Christian Church as Lillie was a member of both.
