She grew up in the country with her siblings and held a job bottling Guinness for the local brewery. At the age of 18 she told her family that she was coming to America and sought sponsorship from her cousin in New York.

She met the love of her life, Steve Coyne, Jr. at an Irish dance and they married and settled in Plainview, Long Island. She worked for American Airlines in customer service for 10 years and was a stay at home mom once her son Stephen was born. Tillie was a wonderful mother and doted on Stephen. In 1990, the family moved to Mooresville, NC. Tillie made many friends and built lifelong relationships. She enjoyed having lunch at Wendy's with the "lunch bunch" and participating in activities at the Mooresville Citizen Center.

Her yard was always the most gorgeous in the neighborhood and it did not go unrecognized. She was honored with the Town of Mooresville's Garden Club's yard of the month and proudly displayed that sign!
