Lillian Willard's Obituary
WILLARD, Lillian, age 90, of Dayton, passed away Saturday, November 13, 2021, at Grafton Oaks Nursing Center in Dayton.
Over the years, Lillian was active with Lifeway Pentecostal Church in Xenia.
Quiet with the sweetest personality, Lillian was small in stature but had an amazingly positive attitude and a caring demeanor. She greatly enjoyed collecting dolls and spending time with her family. She enjoyed being home and preparing home-cooked meals, especially big breakfasts with turkey bacon. Attending church and her faith in God was the center of her weekday activities.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James Willard Sr., in 1993; one son James Willard Jr.; her parents Roy and Jaylee Neace; three brothers Lorenzo, William, and Lawrence Neace; and two sisters Susie Brennan and Lucy Bell. She is survived by her son Dennis Willard; granddaughter Stephanie (Robert) Hughes; four great-grandchildren Hayden, Isabella, Madelyn, and Luke; daughter-in-law Sharon Willard; two brothers John and Lee Neace; and one sister Janice Stewart.
Private services. Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville is serving the family. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
