Lillian was the wife of Gerald Waddell, Thomas Ford, and Frank Eldredge. At the age of 23-24 she was a single mother raising three children with the help of her sisters. Lillian worked most of her adult life as a cocktail waitress then bartender at Gigi's Lounge downtown KCMO. She was extremely generous, especially considering she didn't have much herself. She always included the neighborhood children whenever she took us kids swimming or to the movies. She always gave to the Red Cross and always gave to those needier than her. Lillian had a beautiful soprano voice and apparently she had played the violin some when she was younger. She lost her battle with lung cancer in 2002 and she is dearly missed.
