White River Jct., VT - Wayne G. Lilly, 82, died Saturday February 22, 2020 at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.

He was born one of 12 children to Cecil Lilly and Gertrude (Petty) Lilly on August 12, 1937 in Ticonderoga, NY.  Wayne grew up in Ticonderoga, enjoying fishing, hunting, and spending time in the woods.  He later moved to Pelham, NH and worked at Tyer Rubber in Andover, MA where he met and fell in love with Audrey Silver.  They were married August 11,1978 and lived in Pelham until Tyer Rubber was relocated to Belmont, NH.  The couple moved to Tilton, NH so that Wayne could continue with the company until he retired.  Following retirement, Wayne enjoyed camping with his wife and doing woodworking projects in the shop he set up in his basement.  While living in the Tilton area, they were members of Hope Community Chapel in Franklin, NH.  In 2014, they moved to White River Junction, VT to be nearer to the medical center due to Wayne's declining health, and became members of Valley Bible Church in White River Junction.

He is survived by his wife, Audrey, of White River Junction; daughters Patricia Lilly of Lake George, CO and Colleen Lilly-Dunkum of Leominster, MA; brother John Lilly of Salt Lake City, Utah, and sister, Shirley Lilly of Lowell, MA, as well as several nieces and nephews.
