I loved seeing Lil each time I would go to the care home. She always had lots to chat about and a hug for me! She was absolutely lovely and I will miss her ❤️
What wonderful memories we have of the Wilton family. Knocking on the back door (sometimes no knockin) and entering to raid the fridge. Lily always had the most pleasant expressions. Culhams and Wiltons - great neighbours and superb familt friends.
Dearest Glenn and the complete Wilton family, my sincerest condolences in the passing of this very, very special lady. I had the greatest luck growing up next door to Lily, enjoying her lilacs and little baked pasties at Christmas. What a joy she was in her fuchsia scarf, her blonde hair in the front and brown in the back. My she was stylish well before her time! Her wonderful English accent sounded so elegant. A long life was well lived, well loved and she will be sincerely missed. May the memories of her stay warm and cozy in your hearts. Lily was exceptional. With much love, Sandy Isted (Fry)
My condolences to Glenn and family. I have many memories of Lil and pleasant times at Lumsden Beach and the frequent telephone conversations we enjoyed until shortly before her passing. She was a truly great lady and will be missed by all who knew her.
Our condolences to Glenn, Suzanne and family

To all the family - In the days and weeks that follow Perhaps you'll often find That even long-lost memories Will slip into your mind, And suddenly your loved one Won't seem so far from you... You'll think of touching stories, The things you used to do, And favorite family moments In which you both took part -- These souvenirs of happy times Will keep you close at heart I will always remember Lil as the social (butterfly) director. Rest easy Lil, from a life well lived.
My condolences to Glen and family
Dear Glen and families, I was sorry to read of Lily’s passing but happy that she has had such a long life. I loved knowing her and your family from being a neighbour hood friend. I loved her attention and affection to me. She is now in a better place. Love to you all, Pat Anderson
