Lila enjoyed long, relaxing rides on the bike; taking in the countryside with her beloved husband & companion, Dean. She also enjoyed watching her wildlife sanctuary out her big bay window at her home, many outdoor adventures including gardening, fishing, camping, boating, and cross country skiing. She played softball, was in several pool and bowling leagues throughout her life and also appreciated the many friends she made through her life. Her life was rounded out by sharing it with all of her beloved dachshunds, beagles, and several cats.

Lila graduated from Pioneer Westfield High School in 1965. Many years later, she decided to further her education at Fox Valley Technical College where she studied property management allowing her to own and manage several rental properties in the area. Other jobs she did and enjoyed through her years were seasonal jobs of running her tree shearing & corn detasseling crews, potato planting & harvesting for a few local farms and volunteering to be a Sunday School teacher at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and also being a Girl Scout leader for the local troop. Later in life, she continued to follow her dreams by going back to college to attain a degree in clock repair that allowed her to co-own and operate The Right Time Clock Repair Shop for 10 years then subsequently beginning another career co-owning and operating Kloiber Trucking for 10 years with her husband.
