Bio

Lillie Emma Psencik McDonald went home on December 9, 2019 at the Avante Rehabilitation Center in Irving, TX. Lillie was born on August 29, 1920 to Frank and Emma Psencik on Clinton Street in Ft. Worth, TX, but the family soon moved to Seaton, TX. Upon graduating from the Seaton School, Lillie moved to San Antonio to work for the Loring Mortuary. On September 5, 1944, she joined the United States Navy Waves and shortly thereafter, boarded a train for the Bronx in New York City. After her initial training, she was sent to Cedar Falls, IA with a large group of girls to be trained as military clerk-typists. Her final military assignment was the NAAS in Kingsville, TX. It was there she met Roy McDonald and they were married at the preacher's house on December 22, 1945. Roy and Lillie were honorably discharged from the Navy in January 1946 and moved to Tyler, TX. They had two children; son Wade and daughter Jensy. Following Roy's death in 1955, she earned Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Stephen F. Austin College in Nacogdoches, TX and taught in the Tyler Independent School District for 24 years, retiring in 1988. In 2013, Lillie and Wade moved to Irving, TX to be closer to Jensy and her family, and both were residents of Avante Rehabilitation Center. Preceding Lillie in death are her parents Frank and Emma Psencik, husband Roy McDonald, son Wade McDonald, siblings Viola Psencik Jezek, Frankie Psencik, Anna Mae Psencik and Leroy Psencik .
