Lillian met the late Perry O. Still, at Dixie Dance Hall in Camden, NJ. She really wasn’t a fan of the Stills. She had said “I wouldn’t marry a still”. But Perry wooed, and pursued until she gave in. It was said, by many men that Perry came stole the “prettiest girl from Magnolia and Lawnside”. There love blossom and they were married on the Fourth of July 1954. They were married for forty-one years. He was the love of her life, and she was his. Perry was devoted and loving husband. She did not give up when her husband passed, but instead she stood on the Word of God and adopted this scripture. “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8.

From this union they raised their three children which they taught them to walk with the Lord. Lillian’s children, “arise up, and call her blessed” (Proverbs 31:28).
