Thank you God  for allowing such a Beautiful and loving spirit to pass through my life! Sis Lillian was always such a willing Spirit! I have beautiful memories of her asking me to make the Altar floral arrangements  every year in memory of her mother! I learned to appreciate the “ bird of paradise” flower  as that was her mothers favorite  flower! A special effort was made to include that flower every time she asked! The chats when she drove the church van , her WMS ministry contributions will be truly missed! Thank you family for sharing your Angel with us! She leaves a big void in  many hearts and the Payne Chapel Church! Take your rest dear sister ! Praying for  Peace and Blessings for you family!🙏🏽💕

Sis. Lillian was a beautiful spirit, who served well her church & community wherever she was needed. Whether helping with baskets for the sick & shut in, working the bread box for needy families, etc. The Florence Grady Women's Missionary Society offer our deepest condolences to this family. Sis. Lillian  will be sorely missed. Florence Grady WMS, Payne Chapel AME Church




Lillian was loving and kind person she always had a beautiful smile on her face and she was always willing to give a helping hand wherever one was needed.

Thank you Aunt Lillian for showing unconditional love during that brief time living in TN. Some of my fondest memories come from being at your home. To this day your backyard was magical to me as a child with that creek! Not to mention putting my dads truck in reverse and it rolling back to almost crashing into your fence! Haha..So much love from you & Mr. Gordon. May you rest in Power and be reunited with your love ones, until we meet again, angel! 


Thank you Lillian for 40 years of friendship.  We had some great times.  I love you and I will cherish the times we spent together.

My dearest friend. I will truly miss you. We worked together, laughed together and shared so many stories about our family while we worked together distributing food to people in need in the Living Breadbox at Payne.  Thank you! 

Rest In Peace Lillian.

Sister Lillian will be dearly missed. I considered her to be one of my closest Bible Study Classmates at Payne Chapel AME under the tutelage of our dear Pastor Bryant. We had so much fun there under his leadership.  For several years (we) her and I had perfect attendance.  Those were some memorable times seeking the Lord.
Rest in Heaven Sister.

Sis. Lillian & I shared many conversations at our church, Payne Chapel AMEC. She was a beautiful lady with a beautiful spirit and an infectious smile. May God be your refuge and your strength.
