Funeral service for Mrs. Lillie Sue Daniel, age 82, of Taft, TN will be held at 2pm on Friday, April 21, 2023, at Mable Hill Baptist Church with Dr. Mike Clark and Bro. Roger Bates officiating. Burial will follow in Blanche Cemetery. Visitation with the family will be from 5pm until 8pm on Thursday, April 20 at Mable Hill Baptist Church in Ardmore, AL.
Lillie was born June 17, 1940, in Lincoln County, TN to the late Leonard and Gertrude Sumners Tallman. In her early years she worked for Serbin Manufacturing, but it was her job as part of the custodial staff at Blanche School that brought her joy. Mrs. Sue was loved by both the students and staff, and she loved them in return. She was a member of the Mable Hill Baptist Church, and she made many trips with the Samaritan’s Purse mission work. Lillie passed away April 19, 2023, at Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, AL.

Heard of Ardmore, Kirk Daniel and Abigail Daniel of Murfreesboro, Nate Ventura of Taft; three great-grandsons; and sisters, Margie Bradford of Fayetteville and Mary Posey of Petersburg. In addition to her parents, Mrs. Daniel was preceded in death by her siblings, Bill Tallman, Buster Tallman, Euwin Tallman, and Dot Posey.
Pallbearers are Benny, Ward, Max, and Kirk Daniel, Nate Ventura, and J.K. Heard.

Higgins Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Lillie Sue Daniel.
We will remember that Sue always had a big smile. She was a generous lady always wanting to help someone. She will be missed.
I met Sue and Sandra when I worked at Curves. We had so much fun there! She was a hoot. Then I saw her from time to time at my current job. Always cheerful even when things were not easy. She told me about her reluctance to go on mission trips, but how blessed she was to do it. And, of course, she made it wonderful for everyone else. She was an easy person to love.
Sandra and Nate, you are in my prayers as you learn your way without Sue by your side. Praying for the whole Daniel family.
I am so sorry to hear of Sue passing. We worked together at Serbin. Your family has my sympathy.
I have not been able to see my sweet aunt in a few years but i always enjoyed her company and her sense of humor. I will miss her very much even though we have not spoken to each other in a long time.
She was the sweetest lady I have ever known. She will be missed.
Sharon and Trevor Murphy
