Born in Albany, she was daughter of the late Clifford F. Clark, Sr. and Eileen G. Stokes Clark and wife of 50 years of George E. Ellis. She was a lifelong resident of Averill Park, a graduate of Averill Park High School and earned her LPN from Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing.
Lillian held many jobs and positions throughout her life, but none as important as being a homemaker and the family matriarch. She was always organized and willing to help anyone who needed it.

(Keith Sr.) White, Averill Park, Tonja (Greg) Cates, North Carolina, George (Kelly Lynch) Ellis, Averill Park, Tena (Daniel Guyup) Ellis, Mayfield; her siblings, Clifford F. Clark Jr., West Sand Lake, Monte Clark, Voorheesville, Jane Dzembo, Troy, and Colleen Stevens, Castleton; her beloved 19 grandchildren; many great grandchildren; her step-mother, Colleen Clark, Clearwater, FL; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
