Lurilla regularly attended the SDA (Senior and Disability Action) General Meeting at the Unitarian Universalist Church, and on her way to the meeting on June 9th, she was struck and killed by a Paratransit van. Lurilla was a wonderful presence at our meetings and events. She was also very active in the community, attending citywide pedestrian safety meetings and speaking her mind when she was so moved. Lurilla used a walker, and if you asked her if she needed anything, her response was always, “Yeah, chocolate” Lurilla was a longtime participant in Senior Action Network, now Senior and Disability Action. She was also involved with the Gray Panthers. She had been a proofreader and led a very interesting life. We remember her hats, her mischievous smile, and her wit. We extend our condolences to Lurilla’s son and to all her friends.
 
A memorial will be held for Lurilla on Tuesday, July 19, 2016, Noon to 2 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 1187 Franklin Street, in the Martin Luther King room.
