Lillian moved to the Bergengreen Apartments in Story City in 1975. She later moved to Cedar Place and then to Bethany Manor. For a time, all four sisters resided at Bethany Manor.

Surviving is her dear sister-in-law, Dorothy Guhl, who visited often and took care of many of her needs. Lillian was a very special aunt, and she is survived by fourteen nieces and nephews who loved her very much.
