FRANKFORT, Ky. — Mrs. Carridell “Pee Wee” Tillery, 91, formerly of Valley, left for her heavenly home in time for Christmas on the eve of Christmas in Frankfort, Ky.

Mrs. Tillery was born in Randolph County, Ala. on October 11, 1926 to the late William George Fincher and Lola Adamson Fincher.  She was also preceded in death by her husband, James Marshall Tillery; daughter, Shirley Ann Brannon; four brothers, Infant Baby Boy Fincher, William Edward Fincher, Herman Gordon Fincher, and Roy Lee Fincher; one sister, Mattie Blanche Lynn, and a grandson, David Scott Fallis.

She was of the Pentecostal faith, but due to her declining health could not attend church as she had in her earlier years, but faithfully enjoyed her preachers and gospel music on television. She enjoyed her flowers and watching the birds outside her window visiting the birdfeeder.
