Lilley Dorthy103

Dorothy Marie Lilley, 91, devoted wife, loving mother, grandma and friend, passed away on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 at Countryside Continuing Care Center. She was born on March 24, 1924 in Wichita Falls, TX to John and Lylette (James) Neal.

Dorothy graduated from Wichita Falls High School on June 1, 1943. She married Everett Victor Lilley on May 31, 1943 in Wichita Falls and he preceded her in death on January 9, 1972. She worked at the St. Bernadine Home for many years until she retired. She then was a Nanny for several families in Fremont. Dorothy was a member of Fremont Baptist Temple, taught Sunday school and was a Cub Scout leader.

She loved her family very much and would do her best for them and everyone she met. Dorothy would say “I am never alone.

Dorothy loved her pet kitties. Dorothy was a seamstress, and enjoyed embroidering, wallpapering, painting, baking and canning. She even cleaned fish. Dorothy was truly a Jenny of all trades with a lot of talent. Dorothy is with Jesus Christ now. Her favorite Psalm was Psalm 23.

    Mom, I know I have messed up today getting my love and condolences out to my family. Messed up computer. Thank you aganin for your unconditional love, no matter what. The love of books, writing, I think we both were born with pens and paper and books in our hands. I am sad for me , happy for you, you are with your Lord and Saviour and that, more than ever is what is about. My dear Pete went on to the Lord 11/17/14, he’s been waiting for you you as Kitty Marie and dad and many more. I wish I had lived up to the “God Child” Teri just explained it. Praise , that dad broke a promise, he promissed no more babies after me, you were a mere baby yourself and what a beauty. We have my Teri who also loves me unconditionally and has her twin Greyed one.(Joke) Becky brought you to me that day to talk and Everett was a gullible brother (remember the birds?) Sandy , who made Everett very happy. I have your powder over on the counter and I smell it. Thanks Mom. I know you are laughting at my silly jokes. I typed two or 3 others and messed up. Love ya family, my prayers will be with you. We will have our tribute Sunday, Thanks to Tami and all. We have Kelly to give a tribute to.

    Carole Sue, I remember spending many enjoyable times with you and your family. We both lived on White Avenue for some time, after which your parents built a lovely home on Fourth Street. I would take the Fremont transit bus to the east side and get off near your home to spend a weekend with you now and then. While our lives took us in different directions, I always considered you a dear person. Your mother’s life amazes me from the facts and points of interest in her obituary. Thank you for sharing many things about her I never realized at the time. God bless and comfort you in your loss.
    Love~Pattie (Coxon)
