Lillian E. Master

Lillian Elise Master, affectionately known as "Lil," of Palm, PA, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2026, at the age of 74. Born in Allentown, she was the beloved daughter of the late Robert and Helen (Leh) Schleicher.

Lil's journey through life was marked by love, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to her family and community. Lil married her devoted husband, Walter H.A. Master "Walt", in 1991, and together they cherished 35 years of love and partnership. As co-owners of Master Supply Line in Macungie, Lil and Walt built a successful business over 31 years, before enjoying her retirement.

Lil was the ultimate coordinator; family and friends often turned to her for advice and assistance, recognizing her special knack for getting things done. A wonderful homemaker, she found immense joy in creating a warm and welcoming environment, decorating her home to reflect the beauty of every season and holiday. Her home, adorned with Native American art and cherished antiques, was a testament to her artistic spirit. A talented seamstress in her earlier years, she lovingly crafted flower girl dresses and doll dresses for weddings.

Lil was also a faithful and active member of the Palm Schwenkfelder Church, where she poured her heart and soul into service to the fellowship. For over 35 years, she was a cook in the church kitchen, was involved with the Ladies Aid Society-where she served as president-was a former head deacon, youth club director, served on the board of music ministry and participated in both the choir and bell choir. Her faith and dedication were truly inspirational to all who knew her.

She was an avid reader with a great love for music and gardening. However, her greatest pride and joy came from her family. She is survived by her son: James Meitzler, Jr. (Laura Jo); Step-sons: Kevin Master (Barbara), Jeremy Master and Jason Master; grandchildren: Tilleen (David), Jimmy (Taylor), Blake (Kate), Brent (Madison) and Brayden; her great-granddaughter, Kaia Jean; sister, Sandy Eyer (Scott); brothers, Robert Schleicher (Nancy), Lin Schleicher (Judy) and Randy Schleicher (Peggy); and brother-in-law, Elvin Keiser. She is predeceased by her beloved daughter, Kristen Jo Oswald; and sisters, Bea Buum and Linda Keiser.

A viewing will be held on Monday, May 11, 2026 at Palm Schwenkfelder Church, 833 Gravel Pike, Palm, PA 18070 from 9:30 - 10:45 AM with a funeral service to follow at 11 AM. Arrangements are entrusted to Mann-Slonaker Funeral Home, East Greenville, PA.
