Lillian was born May 31, 1932, to Emil and Julia (Stein) Zander in Crown Butte. She was raised and educated in the Crown Butte area. Lillian was very proud of her German heritage. Lillian married Jack E. Kautzman on Nov. 1, 1949.
Lillian and Jack were truly a team; they worked side by side on the family farm and knew the meaning of hard work. Lillian had a fondness for the animals on the farm. She was a wonderful cook, especially German recipes. Lillian was a compassionate person and never knew a stranger she didn’t welcome into her home; she was easygoing and had many friends. She loved to cook, sew, do crafts and dance to polkas. She and Jack won trophies at polka contests, and she enjoyed the Sunday Polka Party.
After their retirement, Jack and Lillian spent 14 winters in Arizona, where they made many new and lasting friends. Above all, Lillian’s family and faith were central in her life and she will always be remembered by her husband and children as the touchstone of their family.
Lillian will be deeply missed by her loving husband of 66 years, Jack, Mandan; her daughters, Sandra (Wayne) Smith, Mandan, Colette (Dennis) Friedt, Gillette, Wyo., and Jackie (Gene) Geiger, Minot; her son, Stacy (Suzi) Kautzman, Bismarck; 12 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; her sisters, Diane (Gary) Handley, Texas, Doris (Curtis) Dockler, Sacramento, Calif., and Linda (Dick) Broen, Bemidji, Minn.; her brother, Gary (Flo) Zander, Mandan; her sisters-in-law, Dorothy Zander, Mandan, and Fran Zander, Bismarck; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Lillian was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Caroline (Tony) Knoll; and her brothers, Fred, Don, Loyd, Emanuel and Carl Zander.
