Beloved wife of the late Aaron Lerner; devoted mother of Jim and Michael; cherished grandmother of Alexandra, Jordan, Abby, and Marilyn. Also survived by daughters-in-laws Robin Lerner and Lisa Marie Lerner.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1927, Lillian spent many fulfilling years working at The Solomon Schechter School in Queens, where she found great joy in her work and the relationships she built.
