In 1996, Lillian became a volunteer at the Kenosha Public Museum, she was the greeter at the front door every Tuesday and Friday mornings for over 20 years. She loved meeting and talking to people and telling them about the history of the Museum. Lillian and Ed had many wonderful friends, most importantly their next-door neighbors of 70 years... the Rizzo's. Carmen and Sam were family and Renee was her special daughter especially later in life. A heart warm thanks to all her caregivers that allowed our mom to stay in her own home until the end, especially Gay Nordquist.

I'm so sorry to learn of Lillian's passing. She was such a treasured volunteer at the Kenosha Public Museum and I truly enjoyed working with her for over 20 years starting as a docent and then as a greeter. She was a true delight and will be greatly missed. I have so many fond memories of Lillian during her time at the Museum especially watching Nick grow. I'm truly grateful for her devotion to the Museums and the Museums' visitors. My sincere sympathy.Nancy Mathews (retired, Director of Interpretation, Kenosha Public Museums)

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I always heard so much about Lillian from Marianne at work. I know how much you girls loved her. A donation to Safe Harbor Animal Shelter has been made in her memory.

Lillian greeted my students and I at the Kenosha Public Museum many times over a 12 year span. It was always fun to see her!
