I was born in Charlottesville, Virginia but my family moved to Stafford County before I started school.  I attended Stafford County Schools through my graduation at Stafford High School.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Garry Lilly, for 37 years.  We have two children, Sharon and Michael, and two wonderful grandchildren, Logan and Caroline. 

I have been a Christian since October 1976, and filled many different positions in the church I was saved in; including Secretary/Treasurer for about four years; Sunday School teacher to the teen class, and later Sunday School teacher to the middlers; and my husband and I were Junior Youth Group Leaders for seven years.

I have been at Heritage FWB Church since 1990, and have served as Secretary/Treasurer for a couple of years, and am currently teaching the FaithWeaver Friends Class on Wednesday nights.  I find the enthusiasm of the children in this class exhilarating, and I can truly say “what a mighty God we serve!!” 

It is an honor and a privilege to be a servant of Jesus Christ, and I thank the Lord for all He has done in my life, and for His love and forgiveness.
