Obituary:

Lillie McIntyre Ausburn, 85, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on Nov. 5, at her home in McKinney, finally receiving her crown of life.

She was a cornerstone of the family to which she was devoted. She was also devoted to a multitude of friends and a faithful follower of Christ. She was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church for 35 years. In 2002, she joined Waddill Street Baptist and attended as often as her health would permit. We will miss her deeply, but heaven is all the brighter with her presence.

She was born April 26, 1919 in Snow Hill (Collin County) to Willie Gilbert and Margaret M. (Jeffcoat) McIntyre. She was a lifelong resident of McKinney and a homemaker. Her family will greatly miss her. They always used her as their personal phone directory. She got a kick out of being called instead of them calling 411 for information. She also loved her family photo albums, talking and sharing family history with anyone who wanted or needed information. One event she truly looked forward to each year was the Jeffcoat family reunion. Now she is attending the best reunion of all.

She is survived by her daughter, Carol Ausburn Grimes; grandson, Steven Floyd Grimes and wife, Kay; granddaughter, Lori Joan Carico and husband, Dudley; great-grandchildren, Christopher, Brittany and Michael Grimes and Morgan and Whitney Carico; three sisters: Gladys Thompson, Dorothy Foster and Janice Umphrey.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd Wilson Ausburn; daughter, Joan Ausburn Martin; parents; brothers, Malcolm and W.C. Matheny and Herschell Davenport and twin sister, Willie McIntyre Farmer. Funeral Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, in the Charles W. Smith and Sons Funeral Chapel. Interment will follow at Pecan Grove Cemetery in McKinney.

Visitation with the family will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday Nov. 12, 2004 at Charles W. Smith Funeral Home, 601 S. Tennessee Street in McKinney.

Lillie married Floyd Wilson Ausburn 9 Feb 1938, Hunt County, Texas, USA. Floyd was born 30 Dec 1918, Celeste, Hunt County, Texas, USA; died 22 Sep 2001, McKinney, Collin County, Texas, USA; was buried 29 Sep 2001, Pecan Grove Cemetery - McKinney, Texas, USA. [Group Sheet]
