She loved to spend her time crafting and playing cards. She enjoyed working at the West Hill Voting Booth for many years.

Even at the age of 93, she was an active volunteer at Riverside Church Food Pantry. A true baseball fan, Lillian never missed a NY Yankees game and she was a season ticket holder for the Elmira Pioneers. Her cowbell was always heard as she cheered on her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at their sporting events.

Lillian is predeceased by her husband Lauri Koski, her sons Kenneth Koski, Lauri “Punkin” Koski, and an infant son. She is survived by her daughter Sandra Ferguson of Orange Beach, AL, sons Eugene (Michele) Koski of Leesburg, FL, David (Terri) Koski of Elmira, NY, Raymond (Sharon) Koski of Elmira, NY, and daughter-in-law Patricia (Kenneth) Koski of Elmira, NY; grandchildren Kim (Tom) Blake, Tammy (Doug) Warren, Greg Koski, Tim Koski, Kevin Koski, Eric (Jill) Koski, Matthew (Fallon) Koski, Heather (Jim) Eden, Gregory Redder, Courtney (Steve) Shuster, and Rachael Bisbo; eighteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Lillian touched the heart of all that knew her. She taught us all how to love, to live every day to the fullest, and to cherish family. She will be remembered as a woman who knew how to give a real hug and enjoy a good dance.

Lillian lived.
