I graduated high school with Lila's sister, Roxie. Although Lila lived in Little Rock area she never forgot her hometown friends--she visited many of them when they were hospitalized in Little Rock. My prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Lila and I were in HGHS's 1953 graduating class. She was friendly and always had a smile on her face.

Lila was a sweet sister in Christ who could tell some of the best stories I ever did hear. I will miss seeing her at church and will remember her fondly. She was one of a kind.

Carl and family, I am so sorry to read of Lila's death. She was a good friend and classmate in home economics at ASTC who graduated in 1957. We shared lots of laughs and often studied together for tests. I wish I had known she lived so close to me to have rekindled our friendship in our later years. I'll be thinking of all of you as you prepare to continue you life without her. Cecily Coffelt Bullard

What a wonderful soul! Lila always radiated love and warmth. She was pure goodness. I have many fond memories of she and Carl stopping by for a visit at our house. Her presence encouraged everyone around her to be a better person. A few years back I had the pleasure to see both she and Carl and I felt I was transported in time to a gentler kinder time. She will be missed but always remembered. My fondest wishes to Carl and her family. doug
