Lilli was born in Warren, Ohio on June 10, 1955 to John and Antigoni Hatzis Markopoulos.

She was a 1973 graduate of Howland High School, and received a B.A. from Youngstown State University in 1978. Lilli also did post-graduate studies in Social Work. Lilli was a private tutor in Reading, Languages, and Social Studies. She spoke Greek and English fluently and had a lifelong passion for learning new languages. Her deep love for animals was evident to all who knew her, and in her memory, the family encourages others to open their hearts and homes by adopting a forever friend.

Lilli won Chapter Penelope award twice, in 1989 and in 2008. In 2008, she went on to win District Penelope, and also achieved National Penelope 2008.

Lilli was preceded in death by both parents; her son John-Thomas Radu, and both stepfathers, Paul Leventis and Heinz Ernst.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Juliana Radu and Andrew Minamyer of Columbus, her brother Kirk (Rachelle) Markopoulos of Twinsburg, and nephews Nickolas and Noah Markopoulos, and step-niece and step-nephew Morgan and Daniel Boland, all of Twinsburg.
