Lil and Al were members of the First United Methodist Church at Uhrichsville where she was involved with the United Methodist Women. She served as the chairperson for the funeral meals for 15 years. Lil was also a longtime member of Topps and greatly enjoyed her involvement as an assistant Girl Scout leader and a YMCA member. Lil was also an avid Indians and Steelers fan.

Jason (Tara) Huyghe, and Alicia (Richard) Millard; three great-grandchildren, Katelyn and Brogan Crouse and Nathan Huyghe; siblings, Dale (Carol) Grimm, Norman (Julie) Grimm, Joyce Ketchum and Linda Grimm; and numerous nieces and nephews.
