One of my best memories was when Aunt Lill lived in Utah. My mom and I flew to stay with her and Uncle Paul. We boarded the bus to go to go to the Red Garter Casino in Nevada. I had along with me my silver and half dollars I had saved all my life (many years) and was going to make a million off them! Needless to say, I came home on the bus with not one coin left. Also, I enjoyed her letters we sent back and forth from Becker MN when I was a young girl and she mailed me a handkerchief. That is only a few of the great memories I have. She was loved my many and will be greatly missed!

I remember my Aunt Lil when I was going to Elementary School I used to walk to her house everyday after and stay with her until I was picked up. I also got to visit both her and Paul when they lived in Salt Lake City. I will really miss her. She was a wonderful aunt and friend. Shari & Jon & Danelle & Steven

I can't say that I knew my Great Aunt all that well, but I have some great memories. When I was younger, I always remember visiting her at work at the old Food City grocery. As a kid – that was pretty cool to actually know someone who worked at the place where everyone shopped. There was a school mate of mine that lived just a few houses away from her, and I always new I could stop by unannounced/unexpected and be greeted with open arms. She will be missed by many.

Aunt Lill was truly one of this family's greatest assets. She had a quick wit, a compassionate heart, and an open door to anyone who needed her. I loved her very much and am proud to have been named after such a wonderful woman. I will miss her grit, her spunk, her love of card playing and her apple pan pie, fried fish & popcorn balls. I spent many a weekend staying with Aunt Lill and Uncle Paul when I was growing up and have so many fond memories of our times together. She truly had a huge impact on my life and I will dearly miss her.
