Lillie Irene Jones passed away at the age of 79 on April 14, 2021 in Shawnee, Okla.
Lillie was born in Crane, Texas on December 5, 1941 to Angus Lloyd Martindale and Mammie Pearl (Young) Martindale. She grew up in the north Texas area and then moved to the Lincoln County area in the late ‘80’s. Growing up Lillie had the nickname “Peanut” but once she moved to Oklahoma she was known around town as “Nanny.” She loved to take care of people, especially through cooking. She worked at Meeker Nursing Home as the cook there for many years. She also owned her own janitorial service for a while. Lillie also enjoyed taking care of her plants and watching them grow. But when it came to dominos, you better watch out because she didn’t hold back. Lillie was a huge Jimmy Swaggart fan. She also attended Living Waters Tabernacle in Meeker for many years.
