Lillian Linville, a cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the remarkable age of 98. Born on December 8, 1927, to the late Joseph and late Mary (nee Horn) Stevens in Ravenna, Kentucky. Lillian’s life was a testament to resilience, love, and unwavering dedication to her family. Lillian was the beloved wife of the late Robert Linville, with whom she shared many wonderful years filled with love and adventure. She devotedly raised her children, Michael (Teresa) Linville and the late Carolyn Linville. Her warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who knew her, including her grandchildren, Steven (Heather) Linville and Ryan Linville, as well as her great-grandchildren, Oakley and Hudson, who brought her immense joy. Lillian is survived by her dear brother Howard Stevens, alongside cherished memories of her late sisters, Nellie Vanover and Marie Sims. A woman of simple pleasures, Lillian had a passion for gardening, nurturing her plants with the same love she extended to her family. Following their retirement, she and Robert delighted in exploring the beauty of out West, creating lasting memories along the way.
