Lillian RIGGS Obituary

February 1, 1931 - December 19, 2024

Spokane - Lillian Riggs was born February 1, 1931, in Omak, Washington, and passed on December 19, 2024, in Spokane. She married Kenneth Riggs in 1953 and had two daughters and then moved to Spokane in 1957. When Ken retired, they moved to Four Lakes, Washington.

She was kind-hearted, loved her family and was thankful for her friends. She attended church throughout her life. She was a seamstress, knitter, spinner/weaver, gardener, avid reader, and a fan of cats and dogs. When Ken passed, she remained in Four Lakes, moving in with her daughter and son-in-law in 2018 and entering memory care in 2022.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Gladys Lee; and by her brother, Burton Lee. She is survived by her daughters, Shirle Riggs and Sharon Riggs (Craig Miller). A memorial will be held on January 10, at 2:00 pm, at the Four Lakes Community Church. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family suggests donations in Lillian's memory to the Spokane Humane Society or Alzheimers.org.
