Lillian L. Cyr

CYR, LILLIAN L., (NEE LATOUR), 84, - of Mays Landing, died on August 25, 2008. She has joined her husband Claude and granddaughter Amanda, rising to the Lord. She was welcomed with His open arms. Lillian came here, to Buena, leaving her native land of Quebec, Canada. She had lived in Green Creek and Mays Landing for a number of years. Always a hard-working person, Lillian devoted her life to her child, Claudette and grandchildren Amanda and Andrew. There would never be a more sacrificing individual. Her wisdom delivered by soft words, was a guidance. A full smile was her appeal; for she was forever happy with life. Lillian lived to give a good life to her family, ever proud, for which we will always be appreciative. We have been blessed by her spirit of living, kindness, fortitude, and courage. She was a woman of great generosity. Also, ever frank and just -- the message was delivered. For she was a woman with definitive values. We, Andrew and I, will always remember. Sadly missed, we relish her peace. Lillian is survived by her daughter Claudette Cortopassi, grandson Andrew Cortopassi, and a large Canadian family. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, 11 AM at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 114 Route 50, Mays Landing, where friends may call from 10 AM until the time of the Mass. For those who wish, memorial contributions may be made to the AtlanticCare Foundation Amanda Fund, 2500 English Creek Ave., Building C., Egg Harbor Twp., NJ 08234.
