Lilly passed away unexpectedly on June 19, 2024. She is survived by her parents Todd and Robyn, siblings Keaton, Rebekah, Connor, Noah, Autumn and Sawyer, grandparents Dallas Rathe, Burton and Connie Wiersema, and her cat Spencer. She is preceded in death by Grandma Mary Rathe.
Lilly was born in China and was loved by many in her orphanage there. At the age of 14, she was welcomed into the Rathe family, debuting as the oldest of seven siblings. As part of the Rathe family, she quickly became a pet lover. She was especially fond of her cat Spencer.
Lilly will always be remembered for her love of others, which was as bright as her smile, a smile that would light up any room. She had an unmatched sense of humor, a strong work ethic and was ready and willing to lend a hand to others. Lilly also loved competition and enjoyed playing games with family and friends. She had a curious and indomitable spirit and was always up for any new adventure. Lilly fiercely loved her family and friends and losing her leaves a huge hole in all of our hearts.
