I also knew Lil through my job at Pacific Bell. I was her vacation relief in the Lomita Office whenever she would go on vacation. She had a tremendous sense of humor which I will never forget. She always made working with her a pure joy. Although I have not seen her for many years, I still remember her smile and humor and think of her fondly. I know she will be missed by many.

Aunt Lil was a second mother and special Aunt to me and my wife.
Through out these past years she was always a joy to visit and spend time on the phone with.
She never had a bad thing to say about anybody, everybody was a sweetheart. She loved to call you "Sweetie Pie"
We shall miss her dearly.
God Bless you Aunt Lil,
Love Lee & Corrine Larson

Lil was a dear friend and mentor during my employment with Pacific Bell. She was always thoughtful, kind and an inspiration. She made the job easier by her knowledge and great sense of humor. I will miss Lil with her smiling and bright personality. My condolences to her family on their loss.
