Lila Rosalind Dybas was born in Chicago, Illinois on November 20th 1937.  She graduated from Triton College in River Grove, Illinois with an Associate's Degree of Science. Lila also graduated from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois with a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Nursing.

Lila's true passion was caring for others which explains why she chose to become a registered nurse. Lila worked as a hospice nurse, taught certified nursing assistants, and cared for seniors at Central Baptist Nursing Home. Lila was recognized by many for her extraordinary efforts, endless compassion, and true dedication. Touching the lives of others was such an honor to Lila.

Lila lived in the Villages for the past 21 years and loved everything about the communities. One of the many things Lila loved was volunteering.  Lila volunteered at Cornerstone Hospice, Friends of The Villages Library, Lazarus Free Medical Clinic and Hospice Camp for children.

Lila loved taking long walks on the beautiful grounds of the Villages with her two dogs, Mandy and Shelby. She also loved playing tennis and pickle ball. Sitting back and reading a good book was also something Lila enjoyed.

Lila was a devoted and loving mother to her five children; Michael (Georgette), Linda, Ken (Patty), Tommy (Catalina), and Laura (Roberto). Lila loved her nine grandchildren; George, Eric, Samantha, Kenny, Katie, Jessica, Annie, Tommy, and Samuel. Lila also had the honor of being a great-grandmother to Georgia Mae. Lila was predeceased by her mother (Ann Lee), father (Joseph Lee), and brother (Donald Lee).

Lila will be remembered for her big heart, gentle touch, words of encouragement, and diligent patient care. Lila will truly be missed by all. We love you Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, and Friend.

Rest in peace our sweet angel. ♥️
