Lillie Ezell Obituary

Lillie Laverne "Midge" Ezell passed away on Saturday, March 22, 2025, in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with her loving son by her side. She was 82 years old. Lillie was born in Winnsboro, Louisiana, on August 14, 1942. She was the youngest of eleven children born to Willie DeWitt and Lillie Viola Wright.

Lillie is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Sheldon Ezell, and her ten brothers and sisters. She is survived and will be greatly missed by her three children: Dennis Nicholas and wife Suzi of Fredericksburg, Virginia; Dawn West and husband Jack of Shelbyville, Tennessee; George Ezell and wife Donna of Vicksburg, Mississippi; her eight wonderful grandchildren, Emma and Katherine Nicholas, John Lee Brewer III, Brandon and Ty Mccrea, Amelia West, Audrey and Ashton Ezell; and her great-granddaughter Chloe Brewer.

Affectionately known as Lillie, Midge, Maw maw, and mom, she was a devoted member of Parkview Baptist Church. Lillie retired in 2004 from her beloved position as an office manager for TA Travel Center. She and her husband, Sheldon, loved hosting informal and formal gatherings for family and friends. Their annual family reunions would last for days, welcoming dozens of family members and friends to their home. One of Lillie's greatest joys was spending time with her grandchildren. She was also an incredible cook and loved to spend hours tending her garden.

Happy 84th Birthday to Me a Day Late

I had a lovely 84th birthday, with visits from two of my four daughters, my sister Laura and my brother-in-law, Chris. I also received flowers and phone calls from my daughter, Kathy, and grandson, Carl, in NC, presents from my youngest daughter, Suzi, and family in VA, and birthday messages from my grandchildren. It was a memorable birthday.
