In her quieter moments, Lillian enjoyed working puzzles and reading. She also loved spending time with her family going out for Mexican food and margaritas, making memories filled with laughter. She enjoyed fishing and hunting and taking family and friends on hay rides on Halloween. She also had been on more trail rides than could be counted, and many trips to float the river at New Braunfels.

Lillian was a hardworking woman who also knew how to enjoy life. Above all, she treasured the time she spent with her family, creating memories that will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
