Lillie Wrenn Harward

Lillie was born January 4, 1930 in Wake County, NC to the late Arthur C. Wrenn and Iva Yates Wrenn. She was an amazing woman, full of energy and curiosity, love and laughter.

She was a dedicated mother, who would lead her children to a book or dictionary when they would pose a question. Late in life she learned to ask Google what she wanted to know and would get her smart phone to play old traditional tunes from her youth.

She was always protective and she was a fierce advocate. She was a friend to everyone she met and she never met a stranger. She made everyone she was close to (neighbors, friends and family) feel as if they were her most special!

Her immediate and extended family as well as her friends afar and close neighbors were very important to her. She made and kept friends wherever she went and brought sunshine to all around her. Her sunshine was so attractive that every baby or child she encountered was immediately enamored.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Herb L. Harward; daughters, Brenda Carol Harward and Herbie Jean Grout; and granddaughter, Jaime Rose Delott; sisters, Rachel Burgess, Carolyn Russell and Cora Lee Wilder; brothers, Preston Wrenn, Thomas Wrenn, Raymond Wrenn, and Wayne Wrenn.

Lillie is survived by her daughters, Henrietta Cummings (Rick), and Lillie Delott; son, Lloyd Harward (Cindy); sister, Lucille Howard (Johnny); grandchildren, Erin Cummings, Scott Cummings (Ariel), Simon Delott, Katie Delott, Leslie Stovall (Tim), Caroline Kelly (Brian) and Jennifer Weeks (Ashley); great grandchildren, Theron and Camden Money, August and Nell Cummings.
