She lived most of her life in Centerville and was a devout Christian and faithful member of First Baptist Church in Centerville.

She was perfectly capable of doing it herself! Lillian was a homemaker her whole life and loved taking care of her family and extended family. She also enjoyed working in her flower beds and gardening.
