Lillian was a lifelong farmer who milked cows, ploughed fields, and could keep up to any of the guys. She loved playing cards and going out to dances. She was a kind and caring person. She could serve up a meal for 4 or 40 people and made it look easy. Her pies were legendary. She was always cooking for her neighbours and loved to entertain. Lil and Lloyd would spend many Saturday nights at the Rubber Boot. After her farming days were done, Lillian enjoyed walking around Blyth with her good friends. Mostly, she loved spending time with her family. We will miss her genuine kindness.

Friends and family are invited to Riverside Funeral Home Blyth Chapel on Friday July 4th for visitation from 10am-12pm with Funeral Service to follow.
