Memorial service set for former Serta CEO Ed Lilly » BedTimes Journal

A memorial mass for bedding veteran Ed Lilly will likely be held Jan. 31 in St. Charles, Illinois.

Lilly, who held senior positions with Sealy and Serta earlier than founding Lilly Administration Group, died Dec. 12 in St. Charles, the place he lived for 32 years. He was 81.

The mass will start at 10:30 a.m. at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 2900 East Foremost Avenue, St. Charles. Father Tim Seigel would be the celebrant.

Instantly following the service, a celebration of life occasion will likely be held at close by Prairie Touchdown Golf Membership.

Lilly’s profession within the dwelling furnishings business spanned half a century. He started his bedding profession at Strawbridge & Clothier, a Philadelphia-based division retailer, earlier than transferring to Sealy Inc., the place he spent 11 years. From 1990 to 2004 he was CEO and president of Serta Inc., steadily constructing that model. In 2005 he and former Serta government Susan Ebaugh based Lilly Administration Group, which stays lively as we speak.

In lieu of flowers, donations could also be made in Lilly’s title to the Disabled American Veterans, 2122 W. Taylor St., Chicago, Unwell., 60612; to Lighthouse Hospice, 2807 Centre Circle, Downers Grove, Unwell., 60515; or to a charity of your alternative.
