Lillie married Donald Preuss on March 8, 1947 in Payette, Idaho. They were married for 72 years and raised a family of four children.
She was known as Babs by family and friends. She loved her sister Dorothy Schmelzer dearly. Family was always very important to her. She always made sure to take care of them in any capacity she could.
Lillie loved being out in the yard taking care of all her flowers and bushes. She was always a fan of yard art and never found anything she could not revive. The saying was if you stood still in her yard long enough she would paint you.
After retiring from the farm Lillie and her husband Don enjoyed camping and their Poodles.
Lillie is survived by her children Gary & Linda Preuss, Sharon & Larry Dowen, and Debbie & Kenny King and their families.
Lillie was preceded in death by her husband, Don Preuss, son, Larry Preuss and her sister, Dorothy Schmelzer.
