Lillie was the daughter of Jessie M Bryen and Mary Jane Ward. She moved with her parents to Kiowa County, OK, in 1903. There, on 5 Sep 1908, the beautiful Lillie married dark and handsome, Charlie Alexander Atchley.

Lillie and Charlie were the loving parents of twelve children -- ten sons and two daughters. They moved this large family to Arvin, Kern County, California in 1933. Charlie worked as an irrigationer for DiGiorgio Farms, while Lillie tended the family's rented one-room home. Through hard work and thrift, they managed to purchase a two-bedroom home on Stuart Street by 1940.

After Charlie's death, Lillie moved to Bakersfield to be closer to her many grown children who lived there. While visiting her son, Lloyd Ervin, in Fresno, California, she suffered a stroke and died after a brief hospitalization.

Her grandchildren fondly remember the Sunday afternoon, fried chicken dinners and gallons of sweet tea topped off by a sliver of her delicious Lemon Meringue Pie.
