The daughter of Floyd David and Wilma Marie (Morgan) Brewer was born July 8, 1944 in Atoka, Oklahoma. She would later attend Atoka High School, graduating with the class of 1962. It was also in Atoka that she met Dairl Wayne East. They would marry on November 4, 1967. The newlywed couple lived in Atoka until Dairl's work moved them to Claremore.

Lillie was proud of the fact that her primary job was that of a homemaker. However over the years she did work outside of the home at places such as Goodwill and a local resale shop. She even babysat for period of time.

In her spare time Lillie had many interests. She was kind hearted to everyone she met. She loved animals, and was always willing to take in a stray. She loved fishing, working puzzles, cooking, gardening, and country music. Alan Jackson was her favorite performer. In more recent years she enjoyed spending her days at the Adult Day Care center in Claremore, where she made many friends. However her favorite past time was spending time with her family.

Those family members that survive her are her children, Larry East and wife Christy, Jimmy East and wife Nicole, and Linda East, all of Claremore, her grandchildren, Danielle, Brittany, and Dillon East, and Koby West, her siblings, Gene Brewer, Eddie Brewer, Ruby Compton, and Bonnie Davis.

Lillie was preceded in death by her parents; husband Dairl, and siblings Clarence Brewer, Junior Brewer, Mary Lou Powell, Doris Killian, and Margaret Brewer.
