Lillian was born in New York City and trained as a nurse at Bellevue Hospital. She worked as a ward nurse during her younger years in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Texas and Virginia. In 1965 the family moved to Newfoundland, where she continued to pursue her nursing career as an instructor at the Grace General Hospital in St. John's. She retired in 1982 and spent the next 29 years of her life pursuing her loves of music, reading, travel and spending time with family and friends. Lillian was beloved by her family and cherished by her friends. She touched all who met her with her dignity, grace, infectious laughter and joy of living. She will be greatly missed by all. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Woodland, Dr. Martin and social worker Carol Snelgrove for the wonderful care shown to our mother, Lillian.
