Lilly was born March 26, 1929, in Barron, Wisconsin, to Sophus and Margaret (Millerman) Nordlee.  She attended schools in Barron, Menomonie, and Clear Lake, Wisconsin, graduating from Clear Lake High School in 1947.

Lilly was the head librarian at the Spooner Memorial Library for many years.  She loved to volunteer and help others whether at the library, thrift store, or her church.  She was a long-time member of the Spooner Study Club.  In her retirement, making quilts using any types of materials she felt could be used was one of her favorite pastimes.

Lilly was preceded in death by her husband, Norval, and brother, Jerald Nordlee.
