On April 5, 2020, Dorothy McCutcheon Lill passed away at Poydras Home, following a brief illness. A New Orleans native, she was 92. Mrs. Lill graduated from Newman High School, then from Wellesley College. She went on to earn a Master’s Degree in English from Tulane University, along with one in Library Science from Loyola University. Mrs. Lill was the head librarian at Trinity Episcopal School for many years prior to her retirement in the 1990s. Mrs. Lill had many friends; she was especially proud of being a member of the Trinity T.A.R.T.S. She had many passions in life, the most predominant being her love of gardening. She could be found mornings and weekends, along with most afternoons in the summer puttering in her garden. Mrs. Lill had been the beloved wife of Winston C. Lill, Sr., for 62 years prior to his death in 2012. She was predeceased by her mother, Helen Wilson McCutcheon and her father, Dr. Roger Philip McCutcheon. She was the mother of Winston C. Lill, Jr. and Helen Halliday Lill Craige; grandmother of Winston C. Lill III, Branch Craige IV, Dr. Helen Halliday Craige McDonald, and the late Dorothy McCutcheon Craige. Mrs. Lill also was the great-grandmother of four.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Trinity Episcopal School Library in memory of Dorothy M. Lill would be appreciated. Burial will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, Franklin, NC. Due to current conditions, private services will be held in the fall.
