During her 29 year career at The Woman’s Clinic, Lillie greeted thousands of patients with a friendly face and a smile. A devout Catholic, she was a parishioner of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church. Throughout her life, she enjoyed camping and traveling with her husband of 58 years. She loved cooking for her family. Her grandchildren always requested that she bake their favorite banana cake. During holidays, she poured over her collection of cookbooks to find a new recipe to try. Of the many joys in her life, her favorite moments were those spending time with her family and friends, never missing a birthday or an opportunity to cheer on her grandchildren at a sporting event, play or recital. She will be deeply missed.
