Lillian Frances Peterson (Goodfellow)

Lillian passed away peacefully at Sherbrooke Community Centre, Saskatoon. She is survived

by her four daughters: Beverly (Gordon Nagus), Kathy (Walter Neufeld), Dianne,

Rhonda (Ian McGee). Grandson Michael Nagus (Poonam), their boys Carter and Ashton.

Grandson Kirk Nagus(Renee), children Leo and Cari. She was predeceased by her

husband Lorne, and all her siblings.

Lillian was the seventh of nine children born to Earnest and Margaret Goodfellow in the

Carruthers district. After high school she attended Normal School in Saskatoon, and

obtained her teaching certificate. She taught for a few years, before marrying

Lorne (Tony) Peterson. They resided in Carruthers, where they farmed and operated

the telephone office. In 1967 they moved to the farm in Lilydale.

Full time farm life kept her busy, but she managed to find time to sew clothes for the

Girls (later her grandsons), and kept a huge garden. Lillian was known for her baking

(especially her buns), her garden and flowers. After the girls left home, she had more

time to socialize, contribute to community events and to travel.

In 2017, five years after the death of her husband, Lillian moved to Saskatoon to be

closer to her daughters. She resided at Luther Riverside Terrace where she made new

friends and became part of that community.

Lillian touched many lives in the 95+ years she was with us, her family and all her

friends will have special moments to remember.

A Celebration of Lillian’s life will take place on June 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., at the Neilburg Community Hall,102 Centre Street, Neilburg, SK. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the RM440 Hillsdale for the Carruthers Cemetery, or donor's choice.
