Lillian Ann McNeely
June 4, 1938 - January 14, 2016
Lillian Ann McNeely passed peacefully away at her home on January 14, 2016, at the age of 77. Lillian, the second oldest of eleven children, was born in Wisconsin. She made her home in California for over 35 years, working with her husband, Richard, in custom wallpaper hanging and interior design. Lillian was a wonderful cook and enjoyed baking, crocheting, reading, and traveling. Memories are shared by Lillian’s and Richard’s families: Lillian’s children are Connie and David, son-in-law, Ike; grandchildren, Lark, Isaiah, Noelle, Jesse (Mindy), and Holly; and 4 great-grandchildren. Lillian was also “mom” to daughters Susan (Steve), Kellie, and Dianne (Jim); and “grandma” to James, Richie, Albert, and Brianna (Dontre). She is remembered by sisters, Linda (Gary), Diane, Shirley, and Elizabeth; brothers, Donnie, Larry (Deb), and Eddie; and sister-in-laws, Amelia, Bonnie, and Cheryl; as well as by many more family members, dear friends, and special neighbors. Not to be forgotten, is her companion and watch dog, Putney. Lillian was greeted at Heaven’s Door by husband, Richard; mother, Mildred; and brothers, Willie, Bobbie, and Jimmy. Those who knew and loved her know that she waits patiently for them. You always said that you see us in your heart. Wait for us…make some cookies and we’ll be there. We love you, Mom.
