Lillian Joslin
Services celebrating the life of Lillian Lee Bilton Joslin, 97, of Cleburne will be conducted at 2:00 P.M., Thursday, March, 10, 2016, in the Crosier-Pearson Cleburne Chapel.

Lillian Lee Bilton Joslin passed away Saturday, March 5, 2016 in Cleburne. She was born to Albert Earl and Ida Lee Hughes Bilton on Jan. 25, 1919 in Cleburne. Lillian was a 1937 graduate of Alvarado High School. She married Hollis Brown Joslin on Nov. 19, 1937 in Cleburne.
Lillian was a loving wife to her husband of 69 years and a devoted mother to her four children. She was a member of Henderson St. Baptist Church for many years; where she was a leader of Girls Auxiliary, Sunday School and Training Union Teacher, and a member of WMU and Young Women’s Auxiliary. Lillian and Hollis became members of Westhill Church of Christ in later life and touched many lives there, also. Lillian wrote of “the memories of days past and what a joy it was to see many of those whose lives we touched still serving the Lord.”
In the community, she was a 4-H leader, Blue Bird Leader and Cub Scout Den mother. Lillian was also a 50-year member of Eastern Star. With her husband, she became a member of the Good Sam’s Club in order to enjoy their travel trailer.
That Lillian was a woman of faith in Jesus Christ was evidenced by the way she lived her life. She stood for many things: including a close family, sharing the Gospel, a servant’s heart, and a desire to show love and compassion to everyone she met.
Lillian Lee Bilton Joslin was preceded in death by her husband, Hollis Joslin, her parents, five sisters and two brothers, her daughter-in-law, Pat Joslin, and her great grandson, Trey Joslin.
Lillian is survived by her four children, Gene Joslin and wife Beverly of Cleburne, Robert Joslin and wife Lou of Arlington, Roger Joslin and wife Cindee of Buena Vista, AR, and Valerie Moses and husband Rex of Nassau Bay, TX; 15 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren; three great-great grandchildren; daughters-in-law, Dyanne Welch and Dana Federer; brother, Eldon Bilton and wife Quinieve of Dallas; plus many nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the charity of your choice.
