Windsor for 39 years and was a member of the South Windsor Senior Citizens.



Lila is survived by four sons and a daughter-in-law, and four daughters and a son-in-law,

of Menlow Park, Calif., Sharon Wright of Saco, Maine, Richard Wright of Manchester, Charlotte 

Andrusis of South Windsor, Alex Andrusis Jr. of Johnstown, N.Y., and Scott and Susan Andrusis 

of South Windsor. Lila also leaves her nine beloved grandchildren, Gary, Michael and Jason 

Malina, George and Todd Brescia, Tom and Colleen Wright, Cory Andrusis and Alexander Andrusis; 

a brother, David Van Hoven of Staten Island, N.Y.
