Lillian Clarice MacMaster of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at War Memorial Hospital on March 21, 2016. She was born on July 8, 1934 in Thessalon, Ontario, Canada to Herbert and Anita (King) Boucher. Lillian was a member of the VFW Women's Auxiliary, The American Legion Auxiliary, and St. Marys Pro Cathedral. She was a hard worker that held various jobs, and took pride in her work. She was especially proud of her time spent as a CNA at our local War Memorial Hospital. She enjoyed all aspects of life, but playing bingo, taking in the beauty of nature from her deck while listening to wind-chimes, and holding family gatherings were some of her favorites. Lil was a generous spirit with a heart of gold who welcomed many into her home. She was a fabulous cook who enjoyed feeding her family and friends. Lil had great wit and an unmatchable sense of humor that she did not fear to share with anyone she met
