Lillian was an avid knitter and displayed her many creations each fall at numerous craft fairs. In warmer weather she enjoyed the surf and sand of Sea Isle City.  But the thing she enjoyed most was loving and caring for her family whether as a grandmother, mother or wife, she always put the other person first.  She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.  We love her so.
