Lillian
Growing up on the Prairies meant changing seasons and lots of fun times with family – puzzles, board games, and jam sessions around the piano. One of my earlier memories was an older sister and I getting into trouble for reading by flashlight under the covers when we were supposed to be asleep.
Apart from working as a secretary, I have enjoyed various hobbies and crafts, which I still pursue. Several years ago, a friend introduced me to scrapbooking, and from that, I’ve branched into faithbooking as a way to document family stories and experiences.
I’ve had the privilege of living in many different parts of Canada and visiting several other countries worldwide.
I have two married children, seven beautiful grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Growing up on the Prairies, I was actively involved in Sunday School, children’s choir, youth group, Girl Guides, and music lessons. It was a full and enriching childhood.
As I raised my family, I served in various roles within several churches across Western Canada. This was followed by a few years in public relations, a short stint working in a Christian bookstore, and then in community services. I worked in communications for a Christian denomination for several years before retiring a few years ago.
I’ve always had a passion for reading, writing, and photography. I published my first book in 2022 and am currently working on more. My hobbies include delving into my family’s history and helping others share their stories.
I am blessed to have two daughters and their families living nearby.
