Margaret "Poochie" Lilly was born in Hinton, West Virginia on December 4 ^th , 1939 to Everette "Chinny" Lilly and Ruby Lilly.

She grew up in Avis and graduated from Hinton High School in 1957.  She left Hinton to pursue a degree in nursing and became a nurse in 1959.  In 1964 she married Hinton native Ed Yancey and together they had one son John Yancey.

For most of the next 50 years, Margaret was a RN and specialized in geriatric nursing.  On the evening of May 7 ^th , Margaret passed away following a significant stroke.  She is survived by her younger brother, Ed Lilly and his daughter Kaylee, her son, John Yancey, her daughter-in-law Michelle Yancey and her grandchildren, Roman and Sarah Yancey.

Instead of flowers the family asks that you consider making a donation to your local hospice facility.  They were amazingly supportive during Margaret's final days and her family is so appreciative of the care that they provided.  On Saturday, May 16 ^th , we will gather in Hinton to remember a life well lived. A visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. at Pivont Funeral Home before departure to Restwood Memorial Gardens in Hinton for a graveside service at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Ronnie Cob officiating.

A life of service and a life of love.  Regardless of if you are gathered by her side that day or you just take a minute to remember her during that day, please know that your love and support are incredibly comforting during this difficult time.
