Obituary: Lilly, Dilley

Lilly Dilley

Our “LORD” received a beautiful new “BUTTERFLY” to “HEAVEN” the morning
of January 30th, 2012.
Lilly Rae Dilley, born April 19, 1933, the 9th child of Lewis and Velma Daugherty, of a family of 10.

A Newport, WA High School graduate, an athlete, and a lifetime love for all sports.

Married the love of her life, Jack Dilley, in 1955 and had a set of twins on February 1st, 1956.

A professional “COOK” at the Skylark Restaurant for 32 years, worked concessions for Playfair, Coliseum/Arena and Spokane Indians Baseball until retirement.

She was the best Sunday School Teacher, choir singer member, and she sang on TV (KXLY) every Sunday morning.

Also a Boy Scout Den Mother for Darrold, later a Pinochle card member, with final touches as a Bingo Caller for Avalon.

The Best “WIFE,” “MOTHER,” “GRANDMOTHER,” “GREAT GMA” and most of all “SISTER!”

She was always giving, singing and laughing.

Preceded in death by husband, Jack, 1989; son-in-law, Robin Wittwer, 2002 (who she loved!)

and her only son, Darrold Dilley, 2011.

Survived by her only daughter, Deborah Wittwer-Murcar, Spokane; brother, Ralph (Agnes) Daugherty, Deer Park, WA; sister, Alberta (Skip) Holt, Spokane; five grandchildren: Michelle (Christopher) Morgan, Post Falls, ID; Byron Wittwer, Liberty Lake, WA; Rachael Edvalson, Darrold Dilley II, and Grant Dilley all of Spokane; 14 great- grandchildren!

WOW!

Brother and sisters-in-law: Margret Daugherty, Mack (Loretta) Dilley, and June (Lynne) Horne.

A special love to all her nieces, nephews and special friends!

A special thank you to all the staff at Avalon for loving and taking care of my “MOM” and the biggest thanks to my “AUNT BERTIE!”
