Our deepest condolences to Karen and Jim, Gordon, and Mark and Lorraine, and your families. We shall deeply miss Aunt Lillian. It was always a joy to talk with her about her growing up years in South Porcupine. She was a calming influence to those of us who looked to her for her wisdom. She is now resting in peace with her Saviour in the company of her loved ones who have predeceased her. Will will one day meet again in heavenly glory. May the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

I am very sorry to hear of aunt Lillian‘s passing. like my brother Allan said I have lots of childhood memories of her and uncle Carl coming to visit us when we were young and spending time together at my grandparents cottage. She always reminded me of my grandma Dorothy. Thinking of the family at this time.

Our one and only "Nanny". There were no better words to hear as a youngster than "We're going to Nanny and Grandpa's!" Always warm, welcoming, dignified and ready for a visit. Nanny was our connection to a better past. Our last visit was such a good time. I will always remember our laughs as we toured down memory lane recalling many details of her legendary love of ice cream. I was amazed at how sharp she remained as we discussed everything from current affairs to the latest family developments. We were very lucky to have her in our lives all of these years. She was always there for others. Thank you Nanny, rest in peace.

Lillian was a valued and cherished neighbour on Aberdeen Street for many years. Always positive and kind. She so cherished her family and was a wonderful grandma over the years. My memory of Lillian is when she went on a weekend trip with our family in our motorhome ( well after she had turned 80). We were not at the park very long before she took off riding one of our bicycles and didn’t return for a couple of hours Always up for a challenge and new experience!

You were the best Nanny! I cherish my memories of visits, family gatherings and summer vacations in Fisherville and the cottage at Lake Dore with you & Grandpa, your signature squares, and our shared enjoyment of shopping and DQ hot fudge sundaes. Always positive and kind with an independent spirit and strength, a good sense of humour and strong faith. You seemed to defy age and we were so lucky to have you for so long. I will miss you dearly, thank you for everything and your love. I take comfort in knowing I will see you again.

Lillian was the best example of faith, grace, and a zest for life! And what a long full life on earth she had. My heart goes out to the Lantz and Otterman families. The memories are endless and her legacy lives on, and you're blessed to know she has a heavenly inheritance.
