Lillian Broughton was born December 25, 1933 in Bernice, LA to John and Martha Deason Stokes and she entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 in Ruston, LA. While her family mourns her loss, they rejoice in knowing that her faith has become sight and that she is now at peace with the Lord she faithfully served throughout her life.
Lillian faithfully attended First Baptist Church Ruston and her love for God was the foundation of her life. She found strength, comfort, and guidance in her daily Bible reading, and her faith was evident in the way she lived her life. She found great joy in sewing, expressing care through every stitch. Lillian treasured traveling with her friends and family, creating lasting memories with her loved ones.
Lillian was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Prentiss Broughton; daughter, Cherly Cook; brothers, Ferny Stokes and Moreland Stokes; and sisters, Eunice Stokes and Enid Stokes. She is survived by her daughters, Jerri Queen, and Jeani (Betty) Cero and husband Casey; grandchildren, Gene Cobb, Sharla Kelley, Wade Carroll, Chris Hanna, and Lane Austin; brother, Lloyd Stokes; several great grandchildren, and a host of other family and friends.
