Lillie Mae Baber Combs, age 81, passed away surrounded by her family on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at Centerpoint Health in Winchester, Kentucky. She was born on Monday, March 12, 1945, in Clay City, Kentucky, to the late Reece Baber and the late Lizzie Townsend Baber. Lillie was a devoted homemaker who embodied humility and kindness in everything she did. She had a gentle demeanor and a heart full of sweetness, and she rarely uttered a harsh word. Lillie loved fishing with her husband and family, but if they were occupied, she was perfectly content to cast her line alone, enjoying the peace and sounds of nature. In her kitchen, the sweet aroma of home-cooked meals filled the air as she busied herself with canning fresh vegetables, a tradition that highlighted her love for the harvest season. Family was her true passion; every Sunday, without fail, Lillie opened her home to her loved ones, preparing a hearty meal that brought everyone together after church. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of her life, and her home was a sanctuary of warmth and love where laughter echoed, and bonds were strengthened. In addition to her parents, Lillie is preceded in death by one daughter, Dana Lynn Combs; one brother, Gary Baber; and one sister, Alma Trent. She is survived by her husband, Danny Irvin Combs of Clay City; two daughters: Danita (Darren) Farmer of Stanton, and Shannon (Jeff) Brewer of Clay City; four grandchildren: Brandon (Kristen) Farmer, Brooke (D.J.) Haddix, Brett Farmer, and Jaxen Brewer; and four great-grandchildren: Lydia Farmer, Amelia Farmer, Kimber Farmer, and Zaiden Kirby.
