Back in the day, Lillian and Ross spent most Saturday nights out with good friends, dancing the night away. Lillian thoroughly enjoyed (and showed her competitive side) playing cards, was most enthusiastic playing the slot machines at casinos, and was a staunch and seasoned bingo player. Lillian was a very kindhearted lady. Those who knew her often used the words "spunky" and "feisty" to describe her free spirit and that she was always the "life of the party".
