Lillian was the mother of my wife Sherry. She was born in El Paso TX on May 8, 1919 and grew up living a hard life after loosing her mother Domatiella to an auto accident in Sebastapol CA in 1923.
She helped raise her two brothers by luck and sheer will power. She met Paul Jones at a dance studio on Fair Oaks Blvd., and Colorado in Pasadena Ca and married him on August 6, 1938. They lived in Glendale CA till the start of WW2. Paul was with the US Army signal corps and helped build the desert warfare school above Indio CA in mid 1942 for Patton to train his troops. They lived then in Rancho Mirage of Palm Springs before it was the mecca it is now.
She had two children Ken in Nov 1940 and my wife Sherry in March of 1944. After WW2 them moved to El Segundo and Paul built a house on Lomita Ave which still stands today. They moved to Belmont Heights (East Long Beach CA) in 1968 and she stayed in the same apartment near 1st and Redondo Ave until mid 2001 when we moved here to a board and care facility
In the late 1940s she became active in the Jehovah's Witness Church and was a dedicated follower in the Belmont Shore branch. She remained active in that church until her passing due to cancer in November of 2001.
