her husband, Donald O. Cuppe in 1941. She was preceded in death by her husband, mother, father, brother and half brother, step brother, step sister, and step mother.

To begin to name names of those who dearly loved Lillian and whom she loved would be a monumental undertaking. However, there is one lady in particular who not only provided professional care to Lillian but returned to Lillian the love, compassion and sincerity that Lillian herself gave so easily. C. McKnight is also listed here as one of the survivors who realizes a great loss.
In her live, she was an incredible example of kindness. Lillian had a tremendous impact on those of us who knew, loved and respected her. Private services were held on June 29, 2000 for the immediate family.
