Obituary of Lillian Pauline Eggers

Lillian Pauline Eggers (née Guthrie), born on February 28, 1935, in Canby, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2024, in Shakopee, Minnesota. She was the cherished daughter of William and Bernice Guthrie.  

Lillian spent many years as a resident of Mankato, Minnesota, where she built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Known for her hard work and dependability, she also had a quick sense of humor that brought joy to those around her. Lillian found happiness in simple pleasure- playing bingo and cards with friends or completing jigsaw puzzles. She especially loved spending time at the lake and fishing with her brother, moments that brought her great peace and connection to nature.  

She was preceded in death by her three sisters: Patricia, Rosemary, and Maxine; and four brothers: Richard, James, Robert, and Donald. Her legacy lives on through her two daughters, Patricia and Karen; five grandchildren: Nathaniel, James, Todd, Heather, and Grant; and seven great-grandchildren: Joy, Taryn, Cadence, Angelo, Kyro, Jazlyn, and Milli; as well as many nieces and nephews.  

Lillian’s warmth and humor will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May her memory bring comfort to her family and friends as they celebrate a life well-lived.  

A private celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital.
