Born on May 11, 1933 in Ideal, MB, just outside of Oak Point, MB, she was the first child of late Anastasia, Annie or Anne' (nee Lebeda) and George Bernard, Barney' Moorhouse. She was also predeceased by her husband, Philip Power, originally of Pennant Station, SK, on August 10, 2004. Blessed with her memory are her daughter Tannis Power; grandson Keaton Power; brother and sister-in-law Raymond and Sally (nee Dunning) Moorhouse of Saskatoon, SK; brother Harry Moorhouse; sister-in-law Iris Moorhouse (nee Phillips and predeceased by her husband George Moorhouse); brother Ken and wife Jean (nee Scarlett) of Airdrie, AB; sister Wendy and husband Phil Brauen of Stonewall, MB; brother Lionel and wife Vivian (nee Bruce) and the many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbours. Lillian was loved by everyone who met her. Lillian led a very full life. Growing up on the farm, she loved her horses. After the Second World War, Lillian, Lil' moved with her family from Oak Point, MB into the big city of Winnipeg, MB, where she met a new friend, Mary Streilein. The two were inseparable and got into their fair share of good' trouble. The two gals became maids of honour for each. In her younger years, and being the eldest, she helped her Mom Annie clean movie theatres in the evenings and raise the other six children. She worked as a negative stripper in the printing industry for Winnipeg Graphics, where she met many lifelong friends. She married Phillip James Power on May 15, 1954. She took a cashier's job at the neighbourhood Tom-Boy', which later became an Econ-mart' grocery store. She transferred to the Main Street location and worked for the UFCW union for 30 years. She loved travelling to visit friends and family; gambling, of any kind, whether it be penny or nickel games with family and friends, the local casino, or travelling to new cities and exploring new casinos. She was always up for a gathering of any kind. Her dry sense of humour and one liners will be missed. But it's her bright gorgeous smile and always a kind word from within her heart that will be missed the most. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, July 18 at 1:00 p.m. at the Wheeler Funeral Home located at 1800 Day St. in Winnipeg, MB.

I worked with Lil on and off thru the 80s, from walking on the picket lines together to closing up stores on freezing Friday nights - she was always a ray of sunshine with her smiles and stories. She was a wonderful woman!! My condolences to her loved ones! - Posted by: Steve Channing (Retired store manager) on: Jul 03, 2015

Saddened by the news of Lil's passing. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch during her last years as I often thought of her. Lil was such a gentle person, easy to be with, always positive and a great person to work with. - Posted by: liz martin (friend and co worker since 1971) on: Jul 03, 2015

Aunty Lil you will be missed by many, your unselfishness and smile will always be remembered. My kids will always remember going to Walmart when they were little and you were the Walmart greeter and always had a big smile and hug for them and of course the stickers you would give them, they loved seeing you and will miss you too. Rest in peace, love you - Posted by: Kim,Rob,Ryan,Kaitlyn Krasnowski (family) on: Jun 30, 2015
