Lillie Marie Stott

Lillie Marie Bell Stott, age 91, passed away peacefully on April 17, 2025, surrounded by love. Born on November 6, 1933, in Cabell, Kentucky, Lillie was the beloved daughter of the late Eva M. Barnes Duncan and Herman E. Bell. She was a woman of strength, grace, and boundless compassion, whose presence brought warmth to everyone she met.

She is survived by her loving daughter Terry Lynn Hedge Ketron and devoted son-in-law Ralph Ketron. She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren Ralph Ketron Jr., Chadwick Ketron (wife Angie Ketron), and Christopher Ketron; and her adored great-grandchildren Austin Ketron, Tyler Ketron, and Hailey Ketron. She is also survived by her dear sister Doris Jean Duncan Davis and brother James Lyle Duncan.

Lillie is reunited in heaven with her parents and her sister, Ottie Irene Bell. While their reunion is joyous, her family and friends here on earth feel the profound loss of her gentle spirit.

As a young girl in Kentucky, Lillie dreamed of becoming a hairstylist, model, wife, and mother. Her dreams reflected her vibrant spirit and the life she would go on to live—one filled with love, beauty, and purpose. Lillie had a passion for travel, swimming, reading novels, shopping, gardening, and above all, spending quality time with her family and friends.

For over 30 years, Lillie dedicated herself to Lee Memorial Health Care as a Unit Secretary, where her kindness and attention to detail left a lasting impression on coworkers and patients alike.

Above all, Lillie was a devoted grandmother who treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren. She never missed a weekend to take them swimming, shopping, or out for a special meal. Her generosity and love knew no bounds.

Lillie Marie Bell Stott was truly a gift from above—radiating light, love, and laughter. Her legacy of kindness, strength, and unwavering love will continue to shine through the lives of all who knew her.

She will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
