Lillian was born on September 3, 1922 in Morganton to the late John Robert Wilson and Lillie Segal Wilson. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband James M. Suddreth.

She owned Hair Care Beauty Salon and worked as a cosmetologist until she was eighty. She was a member of Lower Creek Baptist Church for over fifty years. She loved her church and her church family. Lillian was a member of the Eastern Stars Hibriten Lodge No. 262 and was a past Worthy Matron and recently received her 50 year pin.
