She is survived by a son, Timothy Poole of Nacogdoches; three grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
Lillian was reared in Galveston, Texas, where she met and married Jack Poole. They moved to Nacogdoches after retirement in 1983 on the farm she and Jack owned. Their farm was known as “Jireh.” Lillian was an avid painter and artist. She enjoyed playing dominoes and cards with family and friends.
On “Jireh,” Lillian continued to actively paint and work with her animals. She loved her dogs and horses. When she and Jack weren’t playing with the animals, they were involved in their church. She was well loved and liked by many and will be greatly missed.
