In addition to being a devoted wife, mother and homemaker, Lily was employed for many years at the Beacon Street Star Market where she could be found behind the courtesy booth, assisting customers and neighbors, always with a friendly smile.  As a devout Irish Catholic, she was a faithful parishioner of St. Catherine of Genoa in Somerville.  Above all else, she was devoted to her family, she cherished time spent together, cooking Sunday dinners, gathering family together during Holidays, and who could forget her most cherished memories of Christmas Eves‘ past, her favorite night of the year.  She loved to cook, and mastered the art of a great Sunday sauce, or as she referred to it, “Gravy.” Lillian’s recipe was often attempted, but never duplicated because no one ever came close to what was affectionately known as “Lily’s Gravy.” Lillian will always be remembered by her family and friends as a strong, beautiful and faith-filled woman who lived simply and loved deeply.
