ASHLAND – Lillian Cunningham, 92, of Ashland passed away peacefully at home on Monday, December 28, 2020. 

Born in Somerville, she was the daughter of the late Salvatore and Anne (Dischino) Uttero and grew up in Wellesley.

She also was the coordinator of the Salvation Army Giving Tree for many years, was a Registrar of Voters for the Town of Ashland and was a Eucharistic Minister at St. Cecilia’s Church.

In her spare time she enjoyed playing bridge and golf.  She was very social and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her family and friends.

Services will be planned to celebrate Lillian’s life when it is safe for all to gather.
