Neal who helped guide her through life’s journeys. During Lillie’s lifetime she enjoyed a cooking career as a Chef where she cooked at many restaurants. Her food was loved by everyone who got a chance to eat it. Her hobbies included dancing to her favorite songs with her children, a hidden talent was writing poetry (she had notebooks of many pages she wrote and saved throughout the years), reading and fashion (always dressing to impress).
