Lillian served in the United States Navy as a typist, retiring in 1989 from AAFAS Oakland Army Base as a warehouse clerk. In her retirement she enjoyed watching her granddaughters, Denise and Brooke.

She loved the people, music, dance and their traditions. She embraced her husband's Talio culture and family. She loved all kinds of music and in her later years she enjoyed leather crafts, jewelry making, drinking coffee and talking on the phone. Sarah was proud to be veteran and she attended functions at the VA. She enjoyed going to church at First Presbyterian Church in Vallejo, CA and most recently Covenant Presbyterian Church in Boise, ID.
