I worked with Lily at Bergan Mercy in-patient pharmcy for 3 years back in the early 1990’s. She will always be remembered as a well respected hard working member of the pharmacy team. Loved her curried fried potatoes she always brought for pot luck lunches. Thoughts and prayers to her family. God Rest her soul.
Our deepest sympathies to your family! What a truly special life she lead! You were all very blessed! May she have eternal peace. Wishing you all peace and to forever carry-on the beautiful memories and passions of Lily! Sending all our love. The Daitch Family
I worked at Bergan with Lilly. She was just a delightful woman, organized, and helpful. She was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure nurses had the meds we needed to care for our patients. She had the most delightful laugh. To this day, anytime I have baklava, I compare it to Lilly’s. It .is never as good as Lilly’s. May she rest in peace.
