Born September 2, 1928, in Panola County, TX, Ailene Lilly was the daughter of the late Johnny R. and Dorinda (Priester) Thompson. She and Orren Leon Lilly were married May 2, 1953. Ailene's life was her family and she loved taking care of them. At a young age, she helped care for her brothers and sister. Later she lovingly cared for her husband and her own children. She was a great wife, a great mom and grandmother, and always a "rock" for her family. Her vegetable and flower gardens brought enjoyment and beauty to her family. She loved to cook and enjoyed sharing her great meals not only with family, but with whomever might stop by for a visit. One of her greatest joys was attending sporting events or any activities in which her children or grandchildren were involved, and she was always their biggest fan. Ailene was also a member of Stockman Methodist Church.

Lilly of Timpson, Danny Lilly and wife Sharon of Timpson, and Dennis Lilly and wife Patty of Garrison; daughter Dorinda "Lulu" Warren of Nacogdoches, TX; 10 grandchildren: Greg Lanier, Samantha Nix, Clint Lilly, Lindsay Lilly, Cory Lilly, Curtis Watson, Casey Warren, Lance Lilly, Koye Lilly, and Tyler Lilly; and 10 great grandchildren.
