Lilly led a very colorful life and was a woman of mystery to the very end. Her family will attest that one thing she never wanted to divulge while yet alive was her age. She must be smiling down from heaven because even on her grave headstone she fudged on her true age.

As an independant woman of 15 she married Peter Petersen Rosenkrantz in Manti, Utah, in 1913. Census records indicate that prior to Peter's death Lilly bore seven children: Violet, Carraff "Gail", Reva, Virginia, Bertha, Marial, and Claud "Larry."

In December of 1927 Lilly married Michael Charles Van Detta in Farmington, Utah. They adopted two more children, Deeda and Grant.
