During her league career, she bowled a 600 series at one of her games. Lillie had several different occupations but her favorite job was when she was a personal caregiver. Taking care of people was very special to her. She was often approached by families asking for her help caring for their loved ones, knowing that Lillie would give the same special loving attention she gave to everyone she looked after. Her church was also an important part of her life. She attended regularly and sang in the choir. She was well known as "Lil", except for her nieces and nephews that lovingly referred to her as "Nanny". Lillie is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Delma Hargrove and brothers, Elvin, David and Alfred Bridges. She is survived by her brother, Roy L. Bridges along with several nieces and nephews.
