A CENTENARIAN who dedicated her life to caring for homeless animals and who inspired a character from a James Herriot novel has died, aged 101.
Ann Lilly, known affectionately locally as Sister Lilly, was one of the first female radiographers in the north, and lived in Brompton, Northallerton, before moving to Mount Vale Nursing Home, in Northallerton, before she died peacefully on September 30.
Her funeral was at St Thomas’ Church, in Brompton, on Tuesday, October 14, which included a collection for the Sister Lilly Animal Foundation Trust and church funds.
