Mrs. Lillie M. Branch, daughter of the late Kellie Thomson and Neddie King Thomson was born June 28, 1929 in The Plains, Virginia. Born the sixth of seven children, Lillie enjoyed the country life of Fauquier County especially horseback riding throughout the vast rolling hills amongst the beautiful scenery.

Lillie was united in holy matrimony to William H. Branch, Sr. in 1952. This union was blessed with five children raising their family in Fairfax, Virginia.

Lillie was an extremely devoted and dedicated Wife, Mother and Grandmother tending to the multiple needs of her family. She enjoyed gardening, canning, sewing and cooking, priding herself on making delicious meals for family and friends. As a result of her generous spirit and pleasant personality, she was loved by many. Her Christian life was as beautiful as the flowers that she loved so well and her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her. She quietly departed this life Sunday, June 11, 2017 at Chesapeake Regional Hospital in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children Wayne Branch, Raymond Branch, Lilie Branch and Alfreda Branch, sister-in-law Mary Ann Hawkes, grandchildren Jasmine Brown, Jenna Brown and Jonah Reboca and devoted nieces, nephews and friends.
