Lilly loved horses all her life and after her parents passed on, she continued to raise cattle on the farm. She continued to grow wheat and soybeans with the help of her Uncle Lloyd and his sons. Her husband, Larry and son Troy, also helped. Lilly’s love and devotion to her family developed during her childhood and teen years spent with her mother, cousins, family and friends.

In 1973, she married Larry Turner of Mulvane. Larry had two children, Michael and Rhonda from a previous marriage. Lilly and Larry had two more children, Tricia and Troy. Lilly spent the rest of her life loving, teaching and helping her four children and their offspring, as well as dozens of cousins, neighbors and childhood friends.
