Lilo was born on December 19, 1930, in Brux, Sudetenland, which became a part of Czechoslovakia as spoils after World War I.  The inhabitants were a large German population who were very successful with most of the countries industrial assets.  Adolf Hitler reunited Sudetenland with Germany in 1938.

In 1955, Lilo immigrated to Canada from Germany.   For many years she was a nurse at Queen Elizabeth's Hospital in Toronto, Canada, and in later years, she and her husband Dieter owned a Cow-Calf operation on Route 2, Dundalk, Canada.  In the summer of 2015, she sold her home farm and moved to Victoria Street in Shelburne where she lived happily until October 2023 when she moved to The Village of Winston in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
