Lilian who was 51 at the time, found solace by helping children who lived on Gordon Street, Kitty where she has lived for 35 years.
The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, in celebrating Lilian noted in a release that she is the second centenarian known to her family. Her grandmother lived to be 105 years old.
