Lillian was born and raised in East Los Angeles to Mexican immigrant parents, the eldest daughter of 9 children. Her sister Alice was her lifelong best friend. Her beloved father was an auto mechanic and owned his own shop. Her ambition was to become a teacher, but that opportunity was not open to her. Lillian was an active member of the church in South Los Angeles where she raised her children with her husband and soulmate, Jack. She built a career as a teacher’s aid, serving immigrant children in her community.
Later in life, she and Jack realized their dream of owning property in El Dorado county. They built a home in Camino.
Lillian cherished and taught all of her grandchildren: Christian, Meredith, Amy, Kimberly, Jennifer, Giovanni, Giancarlo, Sofia, Joshua, Mikal, Reid, and Selena. She was a proud and loving great grandma to Dyllon, Delaney, Velez, Brody, Maverick, Eli, Alice, Julian, Isabella, Azalea.
We will miss her terribly. The family wishes to thank Snowline Hospice for their loving support. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Snowline Hospice, Placerville, CA.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.
