Aunt Lily was loved by her Oregon family. I still remember her generosity and hospitality when my mother Rosa and I stayed with her while I looked at colleges. She had a warm heart and a good soul.

Aunt Lily was one-of-a-kind--a sweet person, but also a fighter and a survivor.  The "Hernandez" girls, Rosie, Elena, and Lilia, were all very fond of her. She no doubt has already met up with Lilia.

One memory I have of her was during daughter Melissa's college search trip to southern California when she so graciously opened their home to us so we would not have to stay in a motel (TY, Aunt Lily!).  

We offer our sincerest sympathy to her family on her death. But she certainly is in a happier place now.

Photo attached is from 1958. Our parents were godparents for Dolores and we made the trek from San Antonio to LA for the christening.


When I first moved to Berkshire ave 24 years ago , Lillian came to my door and asked for my number . She said we were neighbors and should look out for each other so we exchanged our contact info . Occasionally I would call her if something was suspicious in the neighborhood or ask about the neighborhood watch meetings .  I would say hi when I saw her but I really learned a lot about Lillian  through my friendship with Alice Witt across the street . She spoke so highly of Lillian , how she watched her kids grow up and one taught her great granddaughter at Sierra Vista . The last time I saw Lillian was at her yard sale , I bought a set of Tupperware cups and I still have them . It was sad to see her house for sale , but sadder to know that I have lost a good neighbor who was willing to look out for me . Rest In Peace Lillian .
