Lilly played in my mother-in-laws band and we always enjoyed her humor and her playing. We are so sorry for your loss.

Lillian was friends with my mother years ago in Polk City. I remember her selling Stanley to my mom for many years. I even remember when she lived out across the mile long bridge before they started developing all that area. I am glad she lived a long life and had many memories to cherish, I am sure. I hope she is at peace now and is in the best place ever. To her family, I am sorry for your loss.

I remember Lillian doing Stanley parties at my Grandma's house. Those were some fun parties! I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in sharing your memories with family and friends.
