Lil was for the most part a stay at home mom raising her three boys. She also enjoyed her time working in Cranbrook at "The Bay" where she was fondly called "Mrs. Bay" at the Bay.

Lil is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Edward, better known as Muggs, and her three sons and seven grandchildren. Rod, wife Nina and grandchildren Brad and Ashley of Sherwood Park, Alberta; Rick and grandchildren Shelby, Kyra and Breanna of Cranbrook; Greg, wife Jennifer and grandchildren Annabella and Katelyn of Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Lil was loved and respected by all that knew her as a kind and caring person. One that was always willing to help friends and strangers alike. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, that you please do an act of random kindness for a stranger in her memory.
