Lilian (Lily) was born on February 9th 2008, in Appleton WI. Lily had just finished her 1st grade year at Readfield Elementary.
Lily was known for her easy giggles and infectious laughter which was always accompanied by her bright smile. Lily was loved by many. She cared and shared easily for others while showing a spirit for life that was beyond her years. She was the essence of a wonderful 7 year old. Lily enjoyed playing outside, various games, crafts, helping others, and cuddles from those she loved dearly.
While Lily left this earth too soon, for those that loved her dearly, she taught us all the strength and dignity that defined her spunky, sassy spirit and drew others to love her so deeply. Lily could light up a room with her smile and laughter, especially amidst the struggles she encountered over the past 2 years.
Lily is survived by her father, Chad Boettcher and mother, Melissa Boettcher (Truyman); her brother, Gavin. Paternal Grandparents, Steve Boettcher and Connie Nieland; maternal Grandparents, Don Truyman and Cathy Truyman. Aunts and Uncles: Jessica Boettcher, Patty Fugar (Kyle), and Ben Truyman; cousins Jaxson, Liam and Logan.
A gathering of family and friends will be at Christ the Rock Community Church, W6254 U.S. 10 114 in Menasha on Friday June 19, 2015 from 3:30 to 6:30 pm and on Saturday June 20, 2015 from 9:30 to 11:00 am. There will be a memorial service at the church on Saturday at 11:00 am.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Lilian Boettcher. Losing a loved one in death is always difficult and especially hard when one is so young. I hope you can find comfort and strength in our loving Creator and in His promises. Acts 24:15, Psalm 37:11, 29.

What a tremendous loss. I did not have the honor to know Lily but I do know her Aunt Jessica. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She was such a beautiful inspiration. May the precious foot prints she left on your hearts be the sunbeams that help guide you through your days. All my love and sympathy-Megs

Sweet Lily,
Your bravery and strength was something special. You taught so many people so many things in your short time here on Earth. Your family loves you so very much, so shine your amazing strength down on them as they struggle though these difficult days. You will be so missed by so many people here, but your legacy remains and the impression you left on those around you will live on.
Much Love,
Matt, Susie, Aryah, and Harrison

Lily - how lucky were we to have known you... You taught Mark and I so much in such a short amount of time and for that I will forever be grateful. Your mom and family loved you so much, it was such a beautiful thing to watch. While we wish you could still be here somehow, we are happy to know you are no longer in pain and you are up there shining all of your joy and love down on us. You put in a strong and courageous fight - more than any child should ever have to. You are our hero. -Mark & Molly Lentz

Sweet Lily, you fought so hard. You had an army behind you, of so many people that loved and cared for you. I know you are free from the pain you endured on this earth. I'm sure you will watch over Gavin. I will think of you every time I see a lily and remember you with a smile. Love you Lily, the bravest little girl I will ever know.
