MEMORIAL WRITTEN FOR MRS. LUCILLE MARSHALL TOLLEY
by the James B. Gordon Chapter Chaplain Mrs. Virginia Griffith.
We pause to remember and to honor one of our dear sisters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Mrs. Lucille Tolley. She was very dear to us because of the kind of
person she was, always gentle, quiet, kind and considerate, a true Southern Lady. Her Confederate Ancestor was Jonathan Freeman, co. C, 13th Regiment "volunteers"
Lucille grew up in Winston-Salem and attended the local schools where she formed many lasting friendships that endured throughout her lifetime. She seemed not so much
concerned with having friends as bing a friend. She was a business woman employed by RJ Reynolds Company. Her skills, abilities and efficiency were recognized by her
employers and she worked as Executive Secretary for several of the top men in the Sales Department. Here too she found friends that remained close for the duration of her
life. Lucille was a wonderful Christian and this was evident in all areas of her activities. She loved her church and was a loyal member of Centenary United Methodist Church
for about 70 years. She loved music and this was expressed by singing in the Church Choir for many years.
One other thing about Lucille that seemed to me most noteworthy was her love and concern for her family. She and Mr. Tolley had no children of their own, but she gave of
herself and lavished her love upon her nieces and nephews and other members of her large family. She was a wonderful person, a beautiful Christian and we are greatly
blessed to have known her.
