Tillie loved her Savior, the Lord Jesus, with all her heart, and she loved God’s Word.

She was a powerful prayer warrior, and only heaven knows what a wonderful and eternal impact all her many years of faithful praying have had on her family and community.

She was an active member of Lighthouse Family Church for many years where she was a faithful volunteer at their food bank, ran the church thrift shop and ushered at all church services.

She especially liked ushering at many of the combined church women’s retreats held in the New England area.

Tillie was lovingly known as grandma to all.

Grandma will forever remain in the hearts of everyone and anyone that knew her.
