Lillian was active in the Tremont Baptist Church since she moved from Texas to Tremont in 2000.  She enjoyed playing in the handbell choir, being involved with the Tremont Baptist Women, and volunteering in many roles at the church.  She also spent countless hours volunteering and visiting residents at Restmor over the years.  

Lillian enjoyed her many travel adventures, which included trips to the Holy Land, Germany, Austria, England, France, the various national parks in the West, and South Padre Island, Texas.  She also took cruises through the Panama Canal and to Alaska.  

Family was very important to Lillian and she loved them deeply as they did her.  She rescued multiple dogs and gave them dream lives. 

The immediate family wants to send our deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the entire staff at Restmor, who not only did a wonderful job taking care of our much beloved mother, but also loved her as if she was a member of their own families. 

A private service is being held. 

Memorials may be made to the Tremont Baptist Church, P.O. Box 42, Tremont, IL 6156
