As well as twenty precious great-grandchildren who affectionately referred to as “ Gamma or Gramma”.
She will be missed by the Tulk step-children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren that all had a special place in her heart.
Lillian will be also missed by her sister, Deanna who has been her constant friend. Her nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and her Oram’s Bethesda Family, especially Mary and Fred.
She was devoted to her church and serving the Lord through her kindness to everyone and her love of life and family.
Her most favorite past-time was spent sitting in her chair knitting her double mitts, and if you came to visit you would most likely go home with a pair. Even the littlest great-grandchild would be looking for the “bag” when they came to visit and choose a pair of socks or mitts. Double mitts or wool socks was always found under the tree at Christmas right up until this past year. There memories we will always cherish.
Lillian also spent many hours embroidering quilts and did so right up until the fall. She made sure that all her children had quilts and made a quilt for the grandchildren as wedding gifts.
She loved watching the game shows, playing board games and couldn’t wait for after supper to have a game of Yahtzee or Phase-10.
In the summer she loved to pick berries and make the jam for her tarts or just to give away.
Lillian lived a wonderful life and loved to spend time with family and friends and to that we are truly thankful.
