She was a member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Winter Haven for over 100 years.  She loved gardening and each year she would root Christmas Cactus plants and give them to the church homebound.

Lillian was ahead of her time when it came to business, she came by this honest as she came from a long line of women entrepreneurs starting with her grandmother who owned a women’s fur shop in Denmark in the late 1800’s.  Lillian had a love for travel that was instilled in her from a trip to Denmark and Sweden when she was 8 years old to visit relatives. She continued traveling as an adult, visiting China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Hong Kong, Africa, Egypt and Peru.

Lillian was a quiet woman who was wonderful at giving advice to anyone who requested her wisdom, but she would never offer her opinion unless asked.  She was a great listener and often said she learned more about a person from “what they said then from what she asked”.   She would often sit in her chair and “think” about things.  She was a true “Chocoholic” and would never turn down the opportunity to indulge in eating her favorite sweet.  She loved her Manhattan Coctail that she sipped on all week, but if you asked her if she drank, her answer would always be “No”.

She was a wonderful friend and a true Christian.  She will be forever missed but will never be forgotten.

Graveside services will be held Tuesday, June 2 @ 10:00 am @ Oaklawn Cemetery, Winter Haven
