Lillie Sue Daniel, 82, of Taft, Tennessee passed away Wednesday, April 19, 2023, at Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, Alabama.  

Funeral services were held Friday, April 21, 2023, at Mable Hill Baptist Church with Dr. Mike Clark and Bro. Roger Bates officiating. Burial followed in Blanche Cemetery.

Lillie was born June 17, 1940, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, 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.

Survivors include her husband of 66 years, James L. “Jimmy” Daniel of Taft; sons, Benny (Nancy) Daniel of Union Grove, Alabama, Ward (Pam Hamrick) Daniel, and Max (Brenda) Daniel, both of Ardmore; daughter, Sandra Ventura of Taft; grandchildren, Carol Daniel of Arab, Stacey Daniel of Union Grove, Kimberly (J.K.) 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 were Benny, Ward, Max, and Kirk Daniel, Nate Ventura, and J.K. Heard.
