Born in Port aux Basques, NL, Lill was the daughter of the late Harold and Dora Jeans (nee Evans). She was also predeceased by her brothers; Victor (Vera) Jeans, Vernon Jeans, Robert Jeans, sisters; Vera (Bill) Gullage, Ada (Tim) McCarthy, Ruth Marks, father and mother-in-law; Norman and Evangeline Marshall (nee Kettle), brothers-in-law; Stanley Marshall and Bryce Joyce.

Lill will be forever missed by her caregivers Gertie O'Quinn of South Branch, NL, and Genevieve Flannigan of Mount Pearl, NL as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends.

In her younger years, Lill worked for Fowlow's Wholesale. It was clear to Cecil Fowlow that she wanted to advance herself and he loaned her the money for her tuition to attend Bishop's Fields College in St. John's, where she took a secretarial program. Upon completion of the program, she returned to work for Fowlows. Fowlow's Wholesale was followed by T.J. Hardy's where she worked until leaving to support her husband's business with Imperial Oil.

In the late sixties, Lill moved to Wabush, Labrador, with her kids in tow, her husband Ron already there working for Wabush Mines. She initially worked at the Ayres Department store in Wabush, followed by a job as Executive Housekeeper at the Sir Wilfred Grenfell Hotel, working for Alphonse Rudkowski. Upon her husband Ron's retirement, Lill and Ron moved back to Port Aux Basques and subsequently settled in South Branch. She finished her career working as Assistant Manager of the Ferry Terminal Cafeteria in Port aux Basques. In 2014, both her and Ron moved to St. John's to be near medical facilities.

Lillian, fondly known as Lill, was a very remarkable woman. Her family has many fond memories of her life. They lovingly remember her "wearing the pants of the house". She meant business and you knew better than to cross her. Her word was the final one, always making good decisions for her family! When her oldest son attended university, she did without to ensure his tuition was paid and ensured he finished his degree. When her son decided to quit engineering and change his major, she said "Now my son, I'm going to come out there and haul you out of that", with a few expletives thrown in! She made it clear that she didn't like that decision but calmed down and supported it. Her family were always her first and foremost priority and it clearly showed.
