Lillian A. Nemcik, 73, of Ocean, died Oct. 26, 2023. She was born in Brooklyn in 1950 to the late Ella and Charles John Daly.
Lillian was raised in Brooklyn and graduated from Sheepshead Bay High School. She immediately began working after graduating, first at Standard and Poor’s and then Merrill Lynch as an administrator, all while caring for her grandmother.
Lillian was a member of several organizations, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Mayflower Society, the Swedish American Society, and the Monmouth County Federation of Republican Women.
