Lillian Madelyn Rider, known as Lu to many in the Lennoxville community, died late last month in her 80th year. A longtime volunteer with both the Lennoxville Library and the Lennoxville-Ascot Historical and Museum Society (LAHMS), Rider is being remembered by friends and colleagues as a dedicated, kind, and fiercely independent person.
“She was so dedicated.”
“I’ve never seen someone so dedicated,” said Nancy Robert, Director of the Uplands Cultural & Heritage Centre, noting that Rider was already highly involved with LAHMS when she started in her role. “She would volunteer five days a week.” “She was a good friend,” Robert said, remembering Rider as a hardworking woman who enjoyed golf and living in the Townships. “She had a wonderful dry sense of humour.” Richard Evans, current President of LAHMS, said that one of Rider’s defining characteristics was her attention to detail.
