FYI DEATH
-JMB -FF (JMMJBN Lila Lee Gilliam was born on Dec. 17, 1928, in Seattle, to Homer Bostain and Nellie Alexander Bostain. Like many families during the Depression, the Bostains moved to California for work. Her parents and older brothers worked in the fields on her uncle’s ranch while Lila watched her younger sister. Once the economy
improved, Lila’s family moved to Vashon Island. As an adult, Lila moved with her daughter to Seattle, where she held a variety of jobs. She worked at the Seattle World’s Fair in l962 and managed one of the restaurants at the Edgewater Inn, the hotel where famous performers stayed in Seattle. While working at the Rainier Brewery, Lila became one of the first women hired to their quality control department. She continued her education while working there and was one credit short of earning an engineering degree when she retired. It was at the brewery that Lila met John Gilliam, who she later married. John died
at 46. Upon her retirement, Lila moved to Sutherlin, Ore., to be near her daughter and grandchildren. Despite suffering from hearing loss, Lila attended as many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s activities as she could. She was a voracious reader and familiar patron at the local library and book stores. Lila cherished her friends at the Sutherlin Senior Center and had fun preparing treats for their birthdays. Lila died on Dec. 19, 2012, with her family by her side. Lila was preceded in death by her husband John, her mother and father, brothers Richard and
Gilbert, sister-in-law Joni, sister Jean, and son-in-law Gary Von Derahe. She is survived by her daughter Claudette; grandson Cord and his wife Jennifer; granddaughter Michele and her husband Greg Sanberg; grandchildren Gavin, Savannah, Abigail, Madeline and Elizabeth; brother Ken; sister-in-law Sally Bostain and numerous nieces and nephews.
