Pool Wilkinson, she attended Virginia School for the Deaf then moved to North Carolina School for the Deaf in 1958 and graduated in 1966. Surrounded by family, she passed peacefully in her home on April 3, 2023.

Lillian worked as a supervisor at National AIDS Hotline for Deaf for 5 years in RTP area before moving to Clinton, TN in 1993. She was always making crafts, especially her love for filet crocheting making namesakes, socializing with deaf people at many places, and being one of the leaders striving for empowerment and growth in deaf communities in different states over the years.
