Lulabelle Jane (Braun) Drath, age 80, of Gillett, who loved Jesus went to be with our Lord on Sunday, October 28, 2018.

She married Leon James Drath on February 10, 1962 and together they raised two daughters. The family made their home in Brookfield before retiring to Gillett in a home that Lulabelle herself designed.
Lulabelle had the deepest heart for God and for her children, grandchildren, family, friends and everyone she met. Her greatest mission in life was to share her love of God and that others would also follow and love Jesus. Her legacy will be treasured in every prayer she said and every wonderful sweet memory. She was creative and talented in all areas of life. Her greatest joy in life was to be home with her loved ones. She was a loyal member of Hillside Assembly of God Church in Gillett.
