On Thursday, June 15th, 2017, Lillian Marisa Coogan, age 23, known as 
Lily, gave 5 organs to 5 people, donated her beautiful hair to Children 
With Hair Loss, & her tissue for stem cell & cancer research. She was 
known to "light up a room", to be "the life of the party" & everyone's 
"cheerleader" in good times & bad. She brought joy & laughter to all 
who knew her. She sang, composed, danced, painted, & loved to read. 
She thought at an intelligence level that challenged & inspired others. 
She swam in any weather & somehow got you to join her. She played in 
the rain, throwing her arms up to welcome all the love in the universe. 
Children were drawn to her & she loved them. She spent much of her time 
worrying about any of her many friends who might need help. 

A graduate of Manatee High & enrolled fall term at SCF for Sociology, 
her future was about helping others. She was a gift who taught us more 
than she realized. A bright light has left this earth to join the all 
encompassing Love hereafter. 

Lily is survived by her parents, Bernie & Georgia Coogan, 3 brothers, 
Christopher (Tiffany), Michael (Rose), & Brian (Sunita), niece, Rowan, 
nephew, Henry, grandmothers, Marion Jack & Joanne Coogan, great aunt, 
Shirley Bryan & great uncle, David Schanz, 4 aunts, Amber, Marleen, 
Mary, Rebecca & 3 uncles, Chad, Danny, Gary, 21+ cousins & many, many 
friends who will miss her so. 

A Celebration of Life/ Memorial is July 15th, 2017 2pm, Unity Church, 
4200 32nd St W, Bradenton. RSVP to In Memory of Lily Coogan on
