Mrs. Torres, 79 years of age, passed away Thursday, October 24, 2013 in Natchitoches. She was born June 12, 1934 to William Warner Temple, Sr. and Cora Lou (Walters) Temple in Winnsboro, LA. She was preceded in death by her parents; siblings, Onnie Lilley, Hazel Morgan, W.W. Temple, Jr. , Jim Temple and Huey Temple; as well as a granddaughter, Angelon Carroll. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Like the stories she told her grandchildren, Lillian was an extraordinary woman, as well as a loving wife, a warm mother, and a beautiful person in general. She cared more about others than herself and she could always find beauty in everything. She always put her family first. If you ask any one person who knew her what they missed most about her you wouldn't get the same answer twice. Her grandchildren would tell you that it was the “Hot Cocoa Dance”, or stories of “Sneaky Snake” along with massages at bedtime. Her husband would tell you it was the relentless love and devotion she gave to him and all the years they spent together making memories. Her children would tell you that she never met a single stranger; family or not, she would always make sure you had food in your belly and a place to rest your head at night. She was an amazing soul, and heaven is lucky to have gained her Rest Easy Lillian, We Know You Are Smiling Down On Us All. She is survived by her husband, Frank Torres, Jr. of Natchitoches; her sons, William Randolph Richmond of Winnsboro, Ferlon Richmond of Winnsboro, Dalton Richmond of Alexandria and Russell Richmond of Alexandria; her daughters, Charlotte Foshee of Mansfield and Connie Richmond of Pollock; a sister, Lona Morgan of Winnsboro; a brother, Ralph Temple of Winnsboro; she was blessed with 32 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and 3 great- great grandchildren.
