Great-granddaughter Emma will be joining the family shortly. Lillie was a faithful servant of Jehovah and dedicated her life and love to serving God as a lifelong member of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Her life’s’ mission was to set a spiritual example for others and to spread scripture to all. Her humble love for everyone will be greatly missed. A special heartfelt thank you for the care and love shown by the hospice team of nurses and aides. A memorial service will be held via Zoom on May 28th. In lieu of flowers and donations, the family requests that you read the following scripture to your family and express your love to your children… Romans 12:9-18 9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
