Lilie was born November 7, 1893 in Anita, Iowa to Jennie Sonnie and Martin Keller. She was the first of six girls: Lilie Jörgine, Nora Emile, Minnie Christine, Emma Margarete, Martha Eveline, and Anna Marie. She loved languages and could speak five: Danish, French, German, Spanish and of course, English.
She spent 1937, the last year of Lillian's high school in Denver, Colorado because of her health. While there, she attended school and received a license from the State Board of Cosmetology. She went back to Iowa to teach at Liberty Center so Lillian could attend college at Drake University (Des Moines, Iowa). She spent her later years with Lillian and passed away on October 23, 1984.
