Interviewer(s) E. Bernier. Lafayette, LA

Affiliation: University of Arizona

I received Lillie Loftin's name from P.J. Trahan while talking about the upcoming Exxon retirees luncheon. She was in charge of organizing all of the Lafayette members for the event.

Lillie was a secretary in the oil industry for over 30 years. She began working for Exxon in 1955 in Grand Isle and stayed there for four years. She was transferred inshore to New Iberia and then on the Lafayette due to a slowdown in the oilfields. She married her husband in 1961 and quit her job when she got pregnant, taking time off to raise her kids. She returned to Exxon in 1972 and retired from the oil industry in 1986.
