Lillian is survived by her brother Honourable Judge Wilfred Dupont (Jeannine), sister Dorthy Jones, son John Russak (Jennifer) and grandchildren Crystal and Joseph Russak.

She will always be remembered for her vivaciousness and positive attitude.

The family wishes to acknowledge the exceptional care she received by the staff of 6 South at Hogarth Riverview Manor. Your kindness and compassion will never be forgotten.
