Obituary
Lillie Mae McBurl was born. October 2, 1937, to Myrtle Lee Thomas and George McBurl in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. She had six siblings, George Jr., Christine, Martha, Eddie Robert, and Peggy. George, Martha and Robert preceded her in death. She married March Finley on December 25, 1955 and to this union seven children were born with three children preceding her in death. Lillie loved and raised Marcia Cornelious (Dean), Phyllis, and Morris Finley who are left to celebrate her life, guidance, and giving spirit. She accepted Christ at a young age and attended Mt. Zion Baptist Church where she was a faithful member and brought her children up in the faith. She later met and married Rev. I. Sloan (Popsie) and became the First Lady of Jackson Grove in Coweta, Oklahoma. She later became a devoted member of Macedonia Fellowship overseen by her Pastor and sister Dr. Peggy Owens. While at Macedonia, she was a Sunday school teacher for many years and was an inspiration to many of the church members, Lillie always was one who would give you words of encouragement, advice, and love. Many would seek her no non-sense, Word based wisdom. She continued to be a member until her passing from earth to glory. She leaves behind her four children: Marcia Allen (Allen, TX); Dean (Alvertis) Finley (Tulsa); Phyllis (Dwayne) Tapp (Sand Springs); and Morris (Marquetta) (Tulsa). Lillie has 15 grandchildren, with two preceding her in death, and seven great grandchildren. Affectionately known as “Nana and Aunt Lillie”, she had a host of nieces and nephews.

Dear Aunt Lillie, You were beautiful inside and out! A rare quality held by few. Thank you for taking in me and Ray when the fire burn down our house in Pawhuska. I love you dearly. It is my prayer and hope the Marcia, Dean, Phyllis and Morris aka,"MO" are comforted through this time of sorrow! You will be dearly missed…

Ginger and I extend our condolences to Marcia, Dean, Phyllis, Morris and the extended family. We will always remember Miss Lillie as a kind and wonderful child of God. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
