Lillie Mae was born in Guilford County on October 1, 1929, to the late George David and Bertha Ritter Cobb. She loved God and was a devoted member of Mt.

Lillie Mae was an awesome homemaker and had a multitude of hobbies including baking, quilting, sewing, gardening, especially buttercups, and she loved nature. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who always tried to give to her community. Lillie Mae was known for her Doublemint gum and her favorite farewell was, “I love you, a Bushel and a Peck, and a hug around the neck”.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband John Talmadge “Tal” Ziglar; her daughter, Evelyn Ziglar Blake; seven brothers and two sisters; and her great granddaughter, Norah Smitherman.
