Lilly was the daughter of Beaver Yamamura and Michi (Murabayashi) and is predeceased by her brother Tsutae and sister Mae Nagasuye. She enjoyed many lively gatherings with her nieces Janet Nagasuye, Lynn Newhouse (Gary) and Kyomi and her many cousins.

Lilly was a dedicated public servant for over 35 years and will be remembered as a woman of understated elegance and impeccable taste. She enjoyed a good meal out, her Globe & Mail, her sodukus and keeping track of the stock market trends.

A very private individual, she never wanted to cause a fuss or bother and in keeping with her wishes, she will be cremated and a private burial will take place Saturday October 1.

In lieu of flowers or koden, donations to the Toronto Humane Society or the Salvation Army is appreciated.
