They were fortunate to have celebrated 73 years together before Cecil passed away last year. Lillian and Cecil worked at the Big Butte Dairy Farm in the early years of their marriage. Once they left the dairy, Lillian worked for Hofort Christmas Tree farm. Her last 18 years of employment were as the mail order Supervisor of the Eaton’s store and she took her retirement from there. Lillian had a heart of gold and was always there to help help anyone in need. She was a loving mother and grandmother and her family will miss her dearly.
Left to mourn Lillian’s passing are her children; Deanna (Frank) Tebbe and Alan (Sharon) Collinson as well as three grandsons; Tim (Cheryl), Jamie and Kevin and one granddaughter, Heather. Also left behind are three great grandchildren and one great great grandchild as well as many nieces and nephews.
