Lillian Noelle Waxlax

Lillian Noelle Waxlax born on 12/10/2002, age 20, tragically passed away on July 29th, 2023.

At a young age Lil showed a passion for anything involving a horse. She was fearless from day 1. At age 5, Shanna Brack Haffacker taught Lil everything there was to know about loving a horse and dressage horse riding. Lillians determination to get back on a horse that had bucked her into the air was an inspiration. Shanna trained Lillian through many high awards on ChaCha, Hershey & Tee. Lillians 2nd trainer Mindy Price shared a life of horses many of us only dream of. Lil and Tiger were honored to go to nationals in 2018, Lillian by fare being the youngest rider. The pair also went to countless regionals, district, and local competitions.

She entered into Teen Challenge where she met her 2nd family. While she was there she found her belief in Jesus and was baptized. Lillian graduated Teen Challenge and was accepted into Hope Academy where she would further her education in pastoral ministry. Lillian had a passion for helping others on their journey to sobriety.

Lillians smile and truly one of a kind contagious laugh touched many hearts.
