"A sweet and loving child of God, Lillian Lester, 87 of Hanover, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to join her loved ones waiting for her in heaven, on Tuesday, February 1, 2011, from Logan Regional Medical Center.
"Born on January 14, 1924 at Leatherwood, she was the daughter of the late Compton and Laura Brook Runyon Browning.
"In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Harold Lester; four brothers: Landon, Leonard, Alden, and Clarence “Junior” Browning; her four sisters: Edith Cline, Emmalene Browning, LakeJ ustice, and Gracie Morgan.
"Lillian was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a mother to many and a friend to all. She loved working in her vegetable garden and with her flowers, and she loved animals. She loved taking care of and doing for others. She would welcome you into her home and she made sure that you did not go away hungry. She was a homemaker and attended the Justice Tabernacle Church. She had a heart of gold and a beautiful smile for everyone. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
