She was preceded in death by three sisters: Harriet Cordell, Doris Vance and Glenna Purdy; two brothers: Burdette Wetzel and Dick Wetzel.

Lillian was a 1946 graduate of Colchester High School and a 1976 graduate of the Bloomington School of Practical Nursing. She lovingly worked as a caregiver to many people and retired from Bartmann Nursing Home in rural Atlanta where she had worked as an LPN.

Recently Lillian was a member of College Park Christian Church in Normal and had previously been a member of Eminence Christian Church and Atlanta Christian Church. Lillian loved music and serving her church families by both directing and singing in many choirs over the years. She played the piano, mandolin and cello. With her siblings, Lillian had played the mandolin in the Mt. Carmel Country Gospel Players.

A tireless volunteer, her face was well-known at many nursing homes in the area. She was a fixture in the Eminence Ladies' Aid and loved working with children, having served as a youth group leader for many years at Atlanta Christian Church.

Lillian also loved crafting and spent countless hours tatting, knitting, crocheting and oil painting. And in her later years, she took up quilting. She was a past member of the Prairie Bloomers Doll Club.

Memorials may be made to College Park Christian Church in Normal or the Eminence Christian Church Building Fund.

Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home of Atlanta.
