We celebrate our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and sister for whom family always came first. Lillian’s kindness and love was felt by everyone who knew her. She brought great joy to her family and inspired us all to emulate her wonderful passion for life. We will miss her beautiful smile, the warmth of her eyes, her wonderful hugs, her generosity of spirit, but above all her positive and ever hopeful attitude toward life.
She left us with memories to cherish and a special spirit that is forever in our hearts. She will be missed by, son William and (June) Bowers of Oshawa; daughter Beverley Preston of Toronto; four grandchildren Nancy Lee Preston - (Paul) Harrison, Brett Preston (Sandra), Neil (Shannon) Bowers, Heather-Lynn (David) Turner; seven great grandchildren: Tyson, Miles, Thea, Dexter, Declan, Ian and Lillian and a dear family friend Wayne Burrett.
