Lillianna M. Statler

Lillianna M. (Benotti) Statler, 59, resident of Milford, NH died on May 15, 2022. She was born in Nashua, NH on July 8, 1962, the daughter of James W. Benotti and Ann L. (Quigley) Benotti. She grew up in Wilton, NH in her younger years and later moved to Alaska. Lilli was a warrior. The battles she faced daily were more than many will see in their lifetime. Lilli was an avid horse lover and would ride her horses every chance that she had. Even after her traumatic injury she was determined to get back on the horse. She overcame her fear of heights and travelled down the bright angel trail on a mule to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. She was a member of the Milford United Methodist church and strong believer in faith. She is survived by her three children, which were her ultimate pride and joy, Heather A. (Statler) Gagnon and her husband Randy Gagnon, Amber C. (Statler) Francoeur and her husband Steven Francoeur, and Travis J. Statler and his significant other Danielle Panciocco. Besides her children, Lilli is survived by her father James W. Benotti, her sisters Annalisa (Benotti) Vautour and Julianna (Benotti) Harbeck, her brother William Benotti, her lifelong friend Cal (Benoit) Dooley, her biggest advocate and supporter Stephen H. Trombly and her precious grandchildren, Justin, Jaelynn, Kayden, Ashlynn, Reagan, Noah, Kaleb and Torianna. Memorial visiting hours are on Thursday, May 26th from 5:00-7:00pm in the Smith & Heald Funeral Home, 63 Elm Street, Milford, NH. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire, 52 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301.
