Lilian was born in Rodman, Iowa and was married to Warren, her WWII sweetheart, for 73 years. Lilian enjoyed her time as a teacher, bowling, music and trips to the family cabin at the Lake of the Ozarks. As a Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, she loved seeing family, keeping up with the Grandkids and seeing the latest pictures of her Great Grandchildren.
Primrose Retirement Community provided an enjoyable transition to Warren and Lilian when they moved from their Gladstone home of 46 years. Crossword puzzles and competitive card games were regular activities. Many residents and staff have become good friends.
Lilian was the youngest of eight siblings. She is survived by many nieces and nephews and her immediate family who will miss her sass and smile. Surviving family include: Warren Jones, her husband of 73 years, daughters Janis Paterini (& Michael) and Linda Grandon (& Dan), grandchildren Andrew & John Paterini, Jill Pustizzi (& Kevin Pustizzi), Kevin Grandon (& Jamie Domingo Grandon), Blake & Dylan Grandon and great grandchildren Angelo & Roman Pustizzi.
