Lillie Mae Clodfelter Marsh

Our Lord took Lillie Mae Clodfelter Marsh to her heavenly home on December 8, 2013. She was born July 1, 1921 to Trudie Lue Aaron Clodfelter and William Jay Clodfelter Sr. She was 92, the last surviving charter member of the First Church of the Living God, now known as Faith Chapel, where it was first formed in her Uncle Lum Aaron's home in the 1930's. She was employed by RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company for many years before her children were born. She loved being a wife, mother, and homemaker. Over the years neighborhood children and church family children gathered in her home for fellowship and good home cooking. Many of the children called her their second mom. She had a heart of gold and throughout her life her ministry was helping others as she could, whether they needed food, money, or a place to sleep, her door was always open. Lillie Mae and her mother Trudie shared a special bond throughout Trudie's life. She cared for her in her home after her stroke, until her death in 1977.
