Tillie was a member of our Daisy Auxiliary benefiting Family Service Agency for 28 years. I feel privileged to have worked with her for all those years in Daisy meetings and events. She brought something special to every gathering. She was one of those rare people that when you are in their presence you just feel better about everything. My favorite memory is when she and I were trying to make coffee for a luncheon of about 70 members. After a while, we realized the large urn wasn't plugged in. After another wait, we realized there was water but no coffee in the urn. While I officially panicked, Tiliie started churning out 10 cups at a time in the machine on the kitchen counter and we ended up laughing about the whole thing. It looked like an episode of I Love Lucy. I truly regret that I will be out of town for the memorial service. I want to offer my sympathies to her family. Tillie was one of a kind and I will miss her.
