surrounded by family and friends. Lillian was born April 9th, 1932, in the
small town of Mejillones, located in the Antofagasta Province of Chile. Lillian
was the beloved sister of Sameul Morton Horsely. She was educated
through the private boarding school system and upon graduating high school
became a stewardess for Panagra Airlines until she emigrated to the US in
1956. Lillian was first married to Edward W. English, followed by her second
marriage to Robert E. Hance, until his passing in 2010. Lillian spent 14 years
employed by Jordan Marsh as a part-time manager where she also helped to

Attorney’s office, 3rd District Court of Appeals, and the Miami Dade County

for many years. She also owned her own antique shop for a few years.
She enjoyed decorating her home with antiques by traveling the U.S. and
going to local estate sales with her husband. She loved shopping and
fashion and could never pass up a good sale. Sipping on Macchiato’s and
eating French breakfast pastries was her favorite meal any time of the day.
While Lillian had a passion for the arts and antiques her greatest passion
was her family. Lillian touched the lives of so many with her loving and
generous heart. She always wanted the best for her family and friends and
made it known.
