Lillian become Saugatuck's first gold star mother and American Legion supporter. After the war, Lillian was to visit her son's grave in France with a group of Gold Star Mothers. She was a President of the American Legion Auxiliary, Bruner-Frehse Post (named after her son Charles) and remained active until she died at the age of 91 in 1964. Lillian rests in Riverside Cemetery with her husband Harry. On this Memorial Day, our thoughts and prayers go out to "Gold Star" mothers and families everywhere.
