We called her Auntie Bill. She was a delight and I loved being around she and her family. One of the things I remember most about her was how well kept she was. Always wearing a stylish, shop done, short hairdo, she had long, manicured nails. Her mannerisms when she spoke were almost as delightful as her laugh! She was the first daughter to Katieand A.B. and was often at their home when we visited them in Shawnee, OK. She first married Hank Cannon, a loud, animated oil field man. They had three sons. Hank was killed in an auto accident. Several years later Lily married Neatus C. Burkett. They established a home in Midwest City, and lived there until her death in 1973.
