Lillian devoted her life to her family; taking care of her
husband, children and grandchildren. This she truly
cherished. She was an excellent cook, and greatly enjoyed
crafts, reading and her plants. Lillian also enjoyed traveling,

Wenonah Rickards and Shirley Jordan and three brothers,
Gordon, Harry and Malcolm Williams.
