Lillie Mae Launey O’Fiel, 81, of Beaumont, died Friday, April 1, 2011, at Christus Hospital - St. Elizabeth, Beaumont. She was born December 9, 1929, in Iota, Louisiana to Agnes Watson Launey and Willie Launey.

Lillie took pride in decorating her home and her hobby of making “her arrangements” out of items that she would find outdoors or on one of her shopping safaris with her sisters. She was a wonderful cook, whose table always had room for anyone who came in the door. And most of all she deeply loved her three grandsons and was extremely proud of the young men that they had become. Most important in her life was her church and her faith in God.

Survivors include her sons, Monte O’Fiel and his wife Ginny of Orange and Roger O’Fiel of Beaumont; daughter, Micki Sorrel-horse and her husband James “Jim” of Hendersonville, Tennessee; and grandchildren, Joseph Tyler Safer, Sam Safer and Ben O’Fiel.

She is preceded in death by her husband of thirty four years, Joseph Edwin O’Fiel; and parents.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m., Monday, April 4, 2011, at St. Anne Catholic Church, 2715 Calder Avenue, under the direction of Broussard’s, 2000 McFaddin, with burial to follow at Magnolia Cemetery, Beaumont. A Rosary will be recited at 5:00 p.m. Sunday, April 3, 2011, with a gathering of her family and friends to follow until 7:00 p.m.
