LILLIAN PAHARA passed away peacefully at Legacy Lodge, with loving family and caring staff at her side, on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at the age of 95 years.

Lillian is deeply missed but fondly remembered by her children and their families: Dennis and his children Cindy and Clint; Monte’s son Shane (Karri) and their children Sara and Kaiden; Renee (Ian McGillivray) and stepdaughter Mariah McGillivray-Corey (Wes); Debbie Morin (Mike) and son Cole (Emily).

Lillian is predeceased by her husband John Pahara; granddaughter Shannon, great-grandson Jace, and all her sisters and brothers as well as her son Monte, who recently passed away, joining Lillian and these many loved ones.

Lillian was born in Bethune, Saskatchewan to Jon and Mary Lustig. She often said, “Both of my parents died when I was very young but my brothers and sisters were determined to keep us all together.” And did so. This love and strength of family and community defined Lillian’s gentle but spirited nature, throughout decades of farm life and active retirement.

Lillian was a long time volunteer to many organizations including The Lethbridge and District Humane Society where her love shone for animals “great and small”. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation there would be greatly appreciated: 2920 – 16 Avenue North, Lethbridge, AB T1H 5E9.

Her family extends their deepest thanks to the caring staff of Legacy Lodge and Paradigm Home Care. They brightened Lillian’s life everyday and became family too.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Lillian’s families at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 4:00 P.M. with Mr. Reno Guimond officiating.
