Murdock Raymond "Rooty" Lilley

Murdock Raymond "Rooty" Lilley was born March 21, 1936, to Sidney Lilley and Myrtice Dan Lilley in Converse, Louisiana. He went to his heavenly home on May 21, 2026. Raymond was one of 15 boys and one girl. His brother, Jim Lilley, of Lookout Mountain, GA, is his only surviving sibling.

Raymond was married to Anne Austin Lilley for 59 years. Anne went to Heaven in 2014, and now they are together again. Left behind, but only for a short time is his daughter, Sandi Remedies (Tommy); son, Randy Lilley; and daughter, Bonnie Young (Mitchell); grandchildren, Hayley Skinner (Brad), Heath Remedies (Casey), Sydnee Young, Seth Young (Rachel); great-grandchildren, Haydin, Macy, Harlin, Greyson, and Emma. 

Raymond loved auto racing. His favorite driver was Bill Elliott. He loved college sports, especially college basketball. Daddy loved going to Whataburger for breakfast. His receipt would always have PawPaw on it. His brother, Jimmy, would always ask, "Is Rooty still enjoying poor health?" He and Anne were members of Barron Road Baptist Church for over 60 years.

The family would like to thank Dr. Ralla at the Christus Health Cancer Center for all the wonderful care and compassion given to our dad.

 A Graveside Service will be held at Oak Grove Cemetery in Oak Grove, Louisiana on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. where he will be laid to rest next to his wife, Anne. Officiating the service will be Pastor Roger Morton and Pastor Jim Lilley.
