© The Chickasha Express-Star Chickasha, Oklahoma October 8, 2002 January 15, 1917 ~ October 6, 2002 Lillian Shoffit Kuhlman was born January 15, 1917, in Centrahoma, OK, and departed this life on October 6, 2002. She was the daughter of William Oscar and Mamie Felton Shoffit, the fourth of eight children. She was united in Marriage to Ferd Kuhlman October 18, 1944, in Anadarko. She lived most of her life around the Minco, Pocasset and Amber areas. She came to central Oklahoma as a child to pick cotton, learning to do whatever was necessary to help her family survive. Those skills followed her throughout her life as she raised a large family, cooking and sewing for all of them. She grew all of her family's food, helping in the field with the crops and canning vegetables for the winter months. She was an accomplished seamstress and sewed clothes for family and friends, and even had a home business sewing for others in recent years. She was an avid quilter, making beautiful quilts as presents for each grandchild on their wedding day. As an adult, she was an active member of Canaan Baptist Church and Hazel Dell Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. After moving into town a few years ago, she joined First Baptist Church where she attended senior adult functions when she was able. After suffering with Parkinson's disease for the past five years, she finally succumbed to a heart attack. She was loving and concerned about others up to her dying breath. She had an amazing ability to remember the birthdays of all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, never failing to send cards and telephone on their special days. Lillian was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Earl Shoffit and Howard Shoffit; and three sisters, Jewel Wiley, Gladys Walker and Margie Lasenberry. She is survived by a large, loving family which includes her husband, Ferd Kuhlman of the home; a daughter, Lavada Avants Jones and her husband Lin Jones of Pocasset; six sons: Derrell Kuhlman and wife Agnes of Chickasha, Jim Kuhlman and wife Olga of Annandale, Virginia, Gary Kuhlman of Lawton, David Kuhlman and wife LuAnn of Minco, Rick Kuhlman and wife Debbie of Tuttle, and Roger Kuhlman of Mustang; two sisters: Marguerite Huseman of Chickasha and Wanda Pilcher of Edmond, nineteen grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren. Services will be on Wednesday, October 9, at 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Minco, under the direction of Huber-Reynolds with interment at Evergreen Cemetery in Minco. Her son-in-law, Lin Jones, will be officiating, and her grandsons and great grandsons will be pallbearers. |
