Lillian Stroud

Lillian Stroud, 97, of

Minot, passed away

peacefully on August 11,

2017, in the care of Trini-

ty Nursing Home, Minot.

Lillian was born Febru-

ary 15, 1920, the daughter

of Melvin and Grace

(Druey) Davis in Brook-

ings, SD. Lillian moved

with her parents in 1936

to Minot, ND where she

attended high school.

Lillian married Floyd

Stroud on November 26,

1936 in Minot. They

chose to settle in “The

Magic City” where they

could enjoy life and raise

their family. A caregiver

by nature, Lillian was a

long time employee of

Trinity Medical Center in

Central Supply where she

worked from the early

1960s until her retirement

in the early 1980s. Fol-

lowing her retirement, Lil-

lian diligently continued

to volunteer at Trinity

Medical Center beginning

in the 1990s and ending

in 2000.

Lillian’s faith and fel-

lowship within her

church were cornerstones

of her life. She was a life-

long member of All Saints

Episcopal Church in

Minot and cherished the

lasting friendships she

made there. She was a

proud contributing

member of All Saints

Guild. Lillian lived her

life in the belief that we

are all God’s children and

exemplified this by being

a strong early supporter of

civil rights. Throughout

her lifetime she developed

friendships with many

who came from diverse

cultural backgrounds. Lil-

lian was a loving mother

and a doting grandmother.

She was always happy to

share memories of her life

experiences and in turn,

took great pride in the

achievements of her chil-

dren and grandchildren.

Lillian will be greatly

missed by her family and

friends, but her spirit will

live on within each of us.
