Lillie chose the career of taking care of her home and children and she assisted in caring for her aging parents. George and Lillie’s life was not about the pursuit of personal gain, but was always characterized by their willingness to serve and care for others. In 1963 George Sr. passed away. In 1973, Rev. Beryl Webber began showing interest in Lillie and in 1975 the two were married at Mynatt Rd. Baptist Church. Lillie and Beryl made their residence on Mynatt Rd. in Halls for all of their thirty four years of marriage. Beryl passed away in 2009. When asking Lillie why she was living a long life, she always was quick to tell you that she honored her mother and father, and with that she is claiming the promise of commandment #5 which states that your days will be long upon the Earth. She was preceded in death by husband of 33 years (1930-1963) George Osborn and husband of 34 years(1975-2009) Rev. Beryl Webber. Father, Vardamon Johnson and mother Mamie Wells Johnson.

To all her “family” at Hillcrest North, we would like to thank all of you for taking such great care of Lillie. It would be impossible to name all the wonderful caregivers you provided.
