Lili was the founding President of Scottsdale Branch National League of American Penwomen, State President and served on several NLAPW national boards. Lili leaves behind amultitude of loving, devoted and caring people. Her loving husband of 63 years, Joe; her daughter Judy; her son Jeffrey (who preceded her in death); three grandsons Jeffrey (Carla), Kelly and David Horen; sisters Doris YEP, Mary Jane TOY, Barbara LEE and innumerable other family members, friends and acquaintances all of whom were touched in some large or small way by this lovely woman.
