Pryor Club as well as many other ministries within the church. She was instrumental in the renovation of the Historic St. James AME church. She was affectionately known throughout the Kentucky Conference of the AME Connection. Tillie never missed a chance to serve and praise the Lord! She Loved serving the Lord and helping to make disciples of Christ with her welcoming spirit, love for Christ and her contagious smile.

Tillie was a proud 1962 graduate of John W. Bate School where she met life-long friends. She was instrumental in initiating the Bate High School Alumni Reunion and attended the reunion each year to fellowship with graduates and to walk down memory lane of days gone by with classmates and other alum.

I met Tillie years ago in my youth, my grandmother lived on 4th Street across from the fairground, Tiller lived on Randolph Hill. Tiller always had a beautiful smile and encouraging words for anyone. She loved her family, loved the Lord, loved her church and loved Danville Kentucky. Tillie was a person you was always happy to see because in your worse day she could say just a few words to make you feel better. Beautiful person inside and out. Prayers for the family!
