Obituary for Dorothy Jean "Jeanie" Lile
Dorothy Jean (Jeanie) Lile
Jeanie was born in Springfield, Missouri on February 26, 1944, to Estle and Cleva (Henson) Lile. Jeanie departed this life on August 18, 2023.
Jeanie was very proud of being raised a "farm kid" and living in the country. She was kind, gentle and soft-hearted and a lifelong nature lover — especially of the birds and deer that passed through her yard. She loved gardening and liked to show off her beautiful flowers.
Jeanie had a career in banking in Springfield, but she had an adventurous spirit — once even took a group of boy scouts on a raft trip down the snake river! Jeanie loved the snow, the Rocky Mountains, and anything outdoors — but Jeanie loved God, her family, and friends more.
Jeanie is survived by her daughter Jennie and her husband Mike, five grandchildren, Maiha, Gracie, Mollie, Remi and Tyler; one great grandchild, Landyn; four siblings Orville, Sue, James David and his wife Jan and Brenda; her dear friends Fred and Brenda Lawson; as well as a large extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and her church family.
Visitation will be held from 6-7pm on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 at Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home, 500 E. Walnut Street in Springfield where a Prayer Service will be held at 7:00pm.
A Graveside Service will be held at 10:00am Wednesday, August 30, 2023 at Prospect Cemetery, 12215 W. Farm Road 128 in Bois D’Arc, Missouri with Fr. Pompeyo Tan officiating.
