master's degree in social work. Serving handicapped children with love for 
many years, she was employed by the Louisiana Department of Children's 
Services as a clinical social worker.

Her home, family, church, friends and work remained her priorities and joy to 
the end of her life. She was active locally and statewide in the Federated 
Women's Garden Clubs and United Methodist Women. Locally, she was an active 
member of the Pierian Club and the Women's Department Club. The Ruston Museum 
and Habitat for Humanity received her strong support and
cheerful labor.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Zollie; sister, Irma Watson; brothers, 
Carlyle and Price Tillery; grandsons, James Allen Braswell and Thomas Marion Meadows.

Survivors include her children: Lucy Meadows Deason and husband Temd, and Marion 
"Bee" Tillery Meadows and wife Amenda. Grandchildren: Walter Eugene Braswell, Mary 
Braswell Fairbanks and Michael, Amy Meadows Hickman and Allen, James Daniel Meadows 
and Kristy, Beth Meadows Ferguson and Mark. Great-grandchildren: Elizabeth Williams; 
Micah, Caleb, Jacob, Jonathan, Benjamin, Samuel, Josiah, and Elisha Hickman; Alexis 
Braswell; and Samantha and Megan Meadows.

Memorials may be made to Trinity United Methodist Church, Lea Joyner Methodist 
Church, or The Louisiana Methodist Children's Home, which were dear to her heart 
as evidenced in her prayers and gifts.
