Lillian HIGGINS Obituary
With deep regret we announce the unexpected passing of Lillian Higgins of natural causes. Lillian was a sixth generation native of Sacramento. She was a petite woman that was tough as nails. She was an accomplished horsewoman that competed in dressage events since she was a child and she also enjoyed sketching and painting. Lillian worked in the development and construction industry where she became a LEED Accredited Professional. Words that describe Lillian include tenacious, energetic, well-loved, passionate, caring, creative, and generous. She is survived by her parents David and George Ann, sister Kathleen, brothers Dave and Jim, nieces Alix, Madeline, Sydney, Carrie, and nephew Mike. Private services have been held. Donations in memory of Lillian may be made to the Crocker Art Museum where she served as a volunteer.

I was so sad to hear Lillian passed. I met her last year as I was her seamstress on her posing suit for a bodybuilding show. She was a beautiful and fun person to work with. She was playful and exciting and I was looking forward to seeing her in this years show. Before I found out she passed, I had started thinking and asking about her. How strange. RIP Lillian. I will be thinking about you at the show this year.

Oh Ms. Lily, ms. lily, ms. lily! Where on earth have you gone! Like our Johnny, your spirit at The Gym and back stage will be forever missed. Some of us are still trying to untangle the mystery of your sudden passing and perhaps we may never know. Please know that we tried desperately to find you when you didn't answer our calls or emails. I was hoping you'd pop up one of these days to tell a story of how you were wisked off your feet by a rich pirate..........Peace to you my friend. Your Chica

I am heartbroken! Lillian brought the fun, the energy and the laughter everywhere she went when we were teens. I loved our long days in the barn, our long nights watching The Song Remains the Same and all the fun in between. From her beautiful hair to her unbreakable nails, she was special. We had some really great years together when we were young! My deepest sympathy to her family.
