DELCAMBRE – Memorial services will be celebrated for Lillian Yvonne Garrett Babineaux, age 66, at 1:00 pm Saturday, June 15, 2013 at Evangeline Funeral Home. Elder Dwaine Gallian, Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, will officiate.

A gathering of family and friends will be held at Evangeline Funeral Home on Saturday from 10:00 am until time of services.

A native of Meridian Mississippi, and resident of Delcambre, Lillian passed away peacefully on June 10, 2013. She worked for over 20 years at Holiday Inn in New Iberia, and was a member of Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, Central Congregation, where she reached her goal of becoming a regular pioneer with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Survivors include her children, Dolly G. Hardy and friend Karl of Bayou Vista, David Bourque and wife Wanda of Raleigh, NC, Dane Babineaux and wife Lauran of Texas, and Jessica McZeal and husband Tony of Delcambre; 5 grandchildren, Jonathan Hardy and wife Tabatha, Penny H. Arcement and husband Andre, Charley B. Yarber, Tyler Babineaux and William Shore; 6 great grandchildren, Treyton Hardy, Jaycilyn Hardy, Grace Arcement, Andrew Arcement, Wyatt Young, Elijah Shore, and 1 expected, Grayson Yarber; and her brothers, Ronald Garrett of Erath, and Grover "Red" Garrett and wife Cathy of Stonewall, MS.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Grover Garrett and Dolly Felts Galtier; and grandparents (who raised her) Caswell and Georgia Felts.

Lillian wanted to thank her many special friends who were there for her during her life. To Monika and Andrea for helping me to learn about Jehovah, Sheila for helping me learn to love pioneering, Joan (my sister) who shared many things together as a family with her children Lisa and Leaf, Leroy and Pam Hill who have always been there for me, Jessie, my pioneer partner and the good times we shared, Donna Mayfield, Wendy (my niece) and Cathy (my sister-in-law) for always being at my side when I needed, and to Dr. Chancelor Donald and LA Oncology for the compassionate care shown.

And to my family "You were all my favorite".

To: Dolly, David, Dane, Jessica and family my deepest sympathy goes out to you all. You knew your mother (Lillian) all your life I knew her for short time, but in that short time I come to see why you all loved her so much. I will miss her and her words of encouragement for the ministry, when I would call her to check on her. I'm glad we share the same hope for the future of a paradise as Jehovah has promised us, because I look forward to seeing her then.

Lil and I shared many things together, even Divorce and Jobs. We worked side by side at Added Dimensions and aided Pegi Malone to become one of our Spiritual Sisters. She was our Manager. We knew we could always count on the other one being there when we needed a Shoulder to cry on. And we did some Crying... Lillian was a TRUE FRIEND..... I will MISS her very much... Looking forward to seeing her again in the New World and hearing her JOLLY LAUGHTER!!!! All my LOVE to the Family Donna

I know we will all miss that stern voice when she had something to teach you. She was the best boss that I ever had and a great mother to ALL the kids she raised. Even the ones that she did not give birth too. She had a big smile and a big heart. She was one tough lady that didn't let anyone walk all over her. A tough life made her that way but she didn't let that change who she really was, a beautiful women that still found love to give everyone and asked nothing in return. I miss her already but I know she is at peace.

I did not know Lillian but my mom was very fond of Monica and Andrea.
She was a member of the Congregation until she passed. On her
behalf I send our familys sympathys and prayers on her behalf. She
was a devout Jehovah's Witness and we thank the Lord for her
years spent with the Congregation. On behalf of Vernice Myers or
as Sister Myers as she was called we know she always loved
