Lillian Ross Obituary

Lillian Belsky Ross, 73, passed away on May 4, 2007. Lil was born on February 17, 1934 to Theresa and Jerry Belsky in Oklahoma City. She graduated from Central High School in OKC in 1952. She married Bob Ross in 1953 and had three children, Richard, James, and Barbara. Lil enjoyed meeting new people, traveling, any social event, pen palling, and spending time talking about anything and everything with family and friends. Although she had trouble getting around for many years, she enjoyed helping others however she could. Her love of life and people taught us how to accept people for who they are and love them unconditionally. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Lil is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Charlie, Emily, Helen, Jerry, Joe, and Milo. She is survived by her three children; ten grandchildren, Krysten, Kasey, Kevin, Ashley, Tyler, Macy, Raechelle, John, Robert, and Jennifer; one great-grandchild, Logan; and lifelong friends, Dorothy, Linda, and Elma; as well as others too numerous to mention. Services will be held at 2:00 pm on May 10, 2007 at Vondel L. Smith Funeral Home with interment to follow at Rose Hill Burial Park.
