~n 1Lo&ing ~mmhranr of ~s.. 1Lillian ~aiklJ J]nnings
On July 27, 1933, a beautiful flower was created. It was cultivated and nurtured by a loving family and friends. Lillian was born to the late Lillie Mirl Bailey and Milton Bailey in Coweta County, Georgia.
At an early age, she joined the Jehovah Baptist Church in Grantville, Georgia where she was an active choir member. Upon graduating from Grantville Training High School , she moved to Atlanta, Georgia where she attended Cosmetology School in the pursuit of her early childhood dreams.
While in Atlanta, she met and married the late Nathaniel Jennings. In the late fifties, Lillian moved to College Park, Georgia and became affiliated religiously with the Friendship Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Reverend J. H. Lockett. Recently, she joined the Christians For Change Baptist Church, Riverdale, Georgia under the pastorate of Reverend Michael W. Baldwin. She was a member of the choir, an organization she cherished.
She leaves to celebrate her homegoing, five aunts, Inez McCambry, Grantville, Georgia, Mabel Watson and Florence Stepp, both of Cleveland, Ohio, Margaret Redding, Newnan , Georgia, and Georgia Hardeman, Albany, Georgia; and a host of other relatives and friends. Lillian will be sorely missed by all whose lives she touched .
God looked around his garden and discovered an empty space, and then he looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone - for a part of us went with you on the day that God called you home.
Your Family
