I was privileged to learn to know "Lil" when she volunteered for Loyola in the Cancer Registry. Not only was she a great worker but she was such an inspiration to me - doing all the things that she did at her age - even doing her volunteer job on the computer. Many times she would talk about her travels with Elder Hostel - now called Road Scholar. She enjoyed learning about people and places. Thanks for being part of my life, Lillian.

Our Lil,

One of the best volunteers at Loyola in the Cancer Registry section of Medical Records. Not only a dedicated worker but a good friend. May God bless and keep your loved one. Rest my dear in the arms of our Lord.

My dear Aunt Lil, what sadness your passing - yet another of our beloved family. Such fond memories of you welcoming us to your N. Riverside home and Uncle Chuck, sizzors at the ready, our semi-annual shearing. Our "Greatest Generation" heroes so few remaining and our memories of you in your prime so hazy yet powerful. As we pass through our precious time here on Mother Earth it's with great sadness that your passing confronts us all with our mortality while revealing also how deeply, lovingly, and long lived was your foot print. God bless all of us who were touched by You and God Bless you my dear dear Aunt Lil.
Mike and Marge
