Lily Theresa Ball, our wonderful mother, loving grandmother and cherished sister, left us suddenly, unexpectedly and sadly on January 2, 2025, just 16 days before her 81st birthday.

Born in Nelson, B.C., Lil came to Lethbridge in childhood and graduated from St. Joseph's High. She went on to spend several years working in retail and never lost her love for shopping. Lil met and married her 'Kenny' and began a journey together that would last for 57 years, until his passing in 2021. Together they raised their family, shared many laughs at hockey and baseball games, and found friendships that would span decades.

Lil knew her way around a kitchen, whether cooking or baking, everyone knew the results would be delicious. She never tired of listening to Elvis and enjoyed many family camping trips across Alberta and often into Montana.

But above all else, Lil loved to have her family around her. They are left to mourn her untimely passing.

Lil will forever remain in the hearts, minds and fond memories of her sister Judy (Chris) of Kelowna; daughter Debbie (Steve) Gergely of Lethbridge: son Shawn (Kelly) Ball of Ottawa; granddaughters Kayla (Ryan) Shand of Calgary; Ella Ball, Ottawa; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

The family  invites you to share in a Celebration of her Life, which will be held from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm, on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at the GERMAN CANADIAN CLUB, 902, 6TH STREET NORTH, Lethbridge, Alberta. We will gather to celebrate a beautiful soul, and a wonderful life well lived.
