Lillian was such a good friend of our family and close friend of my mother Maxine McClacherty. We took many trips together when I was young and she took me to Haskell and introduced me to art, and life through her eyes. Lillian always had a smile and could always put a smile on my face and make me feel important. You will always be in my heart and memories. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Lillian was always such an asset to Haskell. My husband, Wally, enjoyed working with her at the Little Indian Center. I also appreciated all her hard work and her ability to manage such an important center to the students with families. Lillian had a lifetime of service. God Bless her and my condolences to her loved ones.
