Lillian grew up in Old Fort, North Carolina and moved to Florida in 1950. She married MS Gosnell in 1952. They celebrated over 60 years of marriage and raised their three children in Orlando and ultimately retired and moved to Oviedo, Florida.
Lillian worked in the Orange County school system for many years in various roles at Rolling Hills Elementary, and Molly E. Ray Elementary. After retiring, Lillian and MS moved to Oviedo where they lived for over 30 years.
Lillian loved working in her yard and sewing but her greatest joy in life was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She showered everyone with love and attention, and she was always quick to help family and friends with anything they might need. Whether it be hemming a dress, planting flowers or pulling weeds, Lillian was always willing to help get it done!
