Lillian "Mama Lill" Drummond

Lillian Drummond, lovingly known to all as Mama Lill, peacefully transitioned from this earthly life on the morning of January 10, 2026, at 6:30 a.m., at the blessed age of 104.

Born on October 13, 1921, Mama Lill lived through over a century of history, change, and triumph. She was a living archive of wisdom having witnessed generations rise, grow, stumble, and succeed. Through it all, she remained rooted in faith, family, and quiet strength.

Mama Lill was the matriarch, the glue. A woman of grace, resilience, and unwavering love. Her presence alone carried authority and comfort. She didn’t always need many words; her life spoke for her. She taught by example what it meant to endure, to forgive, to love deeply, and to trust God’s timing.To her family, she was more than a person she was legacy in the flesh. Her stories, laughter, prayers, and guidance will live on through every generation she touched. She leaves behind a family forever changed by her love and forever strengthened by her foundation.

On the day Mama Lill went home, the rain fell gently as if heaven itself opened its gates. We take comfort in knowing she has crossed the pearly gates and is now resting peacefully, reunited with loved ones who went before her.Though we mourn her physical absence, we celebrate a life well lived, a race well run, and a legacy that will never fade.Mama Lill, thank you for everything.Your love lives on.Your name lives on. And your spirit lives on forever.
