Gregory " Bryce" Strong she called in "Gee Gee's Baby Boy and Dawson Watkins, her board game partner, and four step great grandchildren. She has several nieces and nephews, including one very special niece, Beatrice Cruse and husband Steve who brought her a lemon pie each year for her birthday. grandma Lil, as she was known by everyone, was a dedicated Christian Lady. She enjoyed going to church and attended as often as she could even though she was very ill. Lil was a member of the Paducah Holiness Church. She was a loving and giving person. Through the years she cared for loved ones ( or anyone ) who was alone, ill or just needed a place to stay. During the ice storm she welcomed neighbors who had no heat to share her home. She loved making and giving away quilts. She was the best of cooks, and everyone agrees no one makes cornbread or dressing like hers. She enjoyed her doll collection and made sure all visitors took a tour to see her "babies".  She grew up in an era when there was little money for toys. In recent years she would be excited when special holidays came because she knew there would be new dolls.

A Celebration of Life service for this precious lady will be held Tuesday May 20, 2014 at 2;00 P.M. the Paducah Holiness Church with the Rev. T. L.Futral and Rev. Larry Peach officiating. Burial will follow in the Rosebower Cemetery.
