Lillian graduated from Wabeno High School in 1957 and earned her degree from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater in 1961. She taught Business Education at Coleman, Kaukauna, and Little Chute high schools from 1961 until 1975. On June 17, 1967, she married Henry Williamson at St. Mary's of the Lake Catholic Church in Lakewood.
In 1975, Lillian retired from teaching when their daughter Lisa came into their lives. Together, she and Henry founded Williamson Builders, where Lillian applied her business skills to managing the company's operations.
Lillian was an active member of St. Mary's of the Lake Catholic Church where she served as a lector and Eucharistic Minister. She also invested time and energy in her community through her work on the Wabeno school board and as the town clerk for Mountain. She was a member of the Lioness Club, a gardening club, card groups, and the Paya Lake Association, where she formed many lasting friendships.

Lillian will be remembered fondly for her love of Paya Lake, her beautiful gardens, her talent as a ceramicist, her cheerful demeanor, and the joyful summer gatherings she hosted for her family.
