Lillie A. Dailey

Lillie A. Dailey, 95, of High Island, died Saturday, August 19, 2017. She was born March 23, 1922, in Houston, to Lillie Schulenburg Lee and William Andrew Lee.

Lillie was a proud graduate of Sour Lake High School. After marrying her husband, Floyd Daniel Dailey, they moved to High Island. She was a large part of the community, always there to lend a helping hand, cook a meal and even cheer on any sports team, and was a longtime member of the PTA. She will be remembered for her seamstress abilities, sewing many ‘dressy’ dresses for those special occasions.

Lillie was a founding member of the Presbyterian Church of High Island, and always gave her time to do cleanup duties and lend a helping hand when needed.

For over fifty years, Mrs. Dailey was the Avon representative for the area. Every other Thursday, she could be found walking the halls of the school, with deliveries. The kids would always give her hugs, to “Avon calling”.

Above all, Lillie had a great love for family. She was always willing to be the host to family gatherings, and was always there for her grandchildren’s events.

Survivors include son, Stanford Ray Dailey and his wife, Candee, of Winnie; grandson, Charles “Chad” W. Dailey, of Winnie; granddaughters, Hope Sinquefield, of Texas City; Michele Horner and her husband, Steven, of Westlake, Louisiana; Natasha Dailey, of Nederland; great-grandsons, James Royce, of Texas City; Chance LeDoux and Kyle Horner, both of Westlake; great-granddaughters, Jesse Powers and her husband, Trevor, of Dickinson; and Cheyenne Horner, of Westlake; great-great-grandson, Conor Powers, of Dickinson; sister, Frances Burgess and her husband, Reed, of Hamshire.

She was preceded in death by parents; husband of forty-five years, Floyd Daniel Dailey; son, Daniel Lee Dailey; brothers, Fred Lee, William Lee, Ray “Buster” Lee and John Lee; sisters, Annabelle Mitchell and Elizabeth Ingram.

To Rosie Caughlin, ,a true friend and caregiver, the family would like to express their thanks for the care and love given to our mother.
