Lillian worked at Methodist Medical Center for 20 years. After retirement, David and Lillian traveled with friends in their travel trailer.  She enjoyed crafts and made the girls numerous American girl doll clothes, she crocheted, cross stitched, crafted jewelry and was known for her wonderful Peanut Brittle.

David and Lillian were long time members of The Oaks in OAK CLIFF and later Red Oak.

The last three years,  she resided at Midtowne Assisted Living in Midlothian.  At Midtowne, she made many new friends, she loved them dearly and they also loved her.

Lillian's two most important things in life were God and Family.  Her faith and her belief in the power of prayer was very evident in her daily life.  She was a mighty Prayer Warrior, she prayed daily, in the morning, and before bedtime for each one of her family members. What a legacy, she has left .

In lieu of flowers, her family would very much appreciate donations to Midtowne Assisted Living, who have started a non profit foundation in honor of Lillian Garey that will assist residents due to financial hardship.
