Lillian's legacy of wisdom, wit, commitment to a lifetime of intellectual curiosity and learning, and charity to others through church and community work, live on through her many descendants who have benefited from her example and love. Her life was characterized by selflessness and endless hours behind her sewing machine. Hundreds of children benefited from those hours behind her sewing machine with beautiful, original, stuffed animals, mittens and hats, all handmade and donated to those in need. Her legacy also includes countless hours in the kitchen preparing many meals for family gatherings and endless baking in November to produce dozens and dozens of her famous Christmas cookies. A private memorial service to celebrate Lillian's life will be held on June 30, at Ten Oaks Farm in Minster, Ohio. Memorials in her honor can be made to Christ Presbyterian Church, Food, Clothing and Prayer Ministry, 530 Tuscarawas St West, Canton, Ohio 44702. Please sign the guest book.
