Lilly, one of the characters in Netflix's Virgin River, is the mother of Tara and a baby named Chloe, who she abandons after getting depressed. However, she agrees to take care of the baby after Mel convinces her to do so. Additionally, she reveals that she was given a stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. She later dies at the end of Season 3 after suffering from a stroke. Follow the article to know more about her death and Lilly's cast/actress, Lynda Boys.

The eagerly awaited Season 4 of Virgin River premiered on Netflix on July 20. Fans quickly drifted through every episode as they were all instantly available to watch. Pure enjoyment is guaranteed by the colorful individuals' lives and plot lines that have more turns than a rollercoaster.

The show's breathtaking scenery is just as captivating to viewers as the compelling storylines. It makes sense that viewers of the show are constantly clamoring for more action while yet being captivated by Mel and Jack's primary love story.

While the town is still getting to terms with the death of Lilly in season 3, Hope is having trouble recalling what happened to her beloved friend after getting into a car accident on the way to her funeral. In addition to inquiring about what happened to Hope, Virgin River fans who are a little fuzzy on the events of past seasons are also curious about her before season 4. So who was Lilly? How did she die? Let's find it out right below.

Virgin River: Who Was Lilly and How Did She Die? Meet Lilly Actress/Cast, Lynda Boyd; Her Death & Appearance in Season 4 Explained!

One of the many residents of Virgin River, Lilly made her debut in season 1. She is Tara's mother, the owner of her own farm, and a close friend of a number of other characters, especially Connie and Hope. She gained fame in Virgin River after a baby was abandoned at Doc Mullins' clinic in the first few episodes.

Lilly was identified as the baby's mother when she was spotted breastfeeding the child while Mel took a break and after Mel promised to take care of the child. Due to postpartum depression, she wanted to abandon the baby Mel had named Chloe. However, she decided to keep the child with a little help from Mel and her friends.

Since then, Lilly has made numerous appearances on the show. In season 2, when Brady was working for a group of marijuana producers, he came dangerously close to buying her farm. But Lilly refused to sign over her farm when she found out about his business partners.

After suffering a pancreatic cancer diagnosis, Lilly's journey from Virgin River came to an end in season 3. Early in the season, she was visibly exhausted and seemed ill; her daughter Tara thought she had too much on her schedule. However, she revealed to Mel at the conclusion of episode 2 that she had been given a stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Before ultimately telling Tara and Doc Mullins about her diagnosis, Lilly hid it for a few more episodes. However, she convinced Doc not to tell Hope, who had been out of town for the majority of season 3. When Tara tried to wake up Lilly from her little nap before dinner in episode 8, Tara learned that her mother had passed away from a stroke she had suffered while sleeping.

In episode 9 of Season 3, the Virgin River community came together to say goodbye to Lilly, but Hope was unable to return in time for the funeral because of a car accident she had experienced on the way back to town, as Doc discovered at the episode's conclusion.

Hope faces difficulty recovering her memories after being in an accident and having her brain damaged throughout season 4. While recent memories are fuzzier and she is unaware that Lilly passed away, she can recall events from decades before, including her and Doc's first kiss.

Hope is disturbed by Lilly's absence, and in an effort to comfort her, her friends mistakenly inform her that Lilly is still alive. Nevertheless, Doc is ultimately compelled to reveal Lilly's fate in a heartbreaking scene. Despite dying in season 3, that wasn't the last time we saw her. In episode 9 of Season 4, Hope has a vision of her dead friend when she needs some much-needed advice and consolation.

The role of Lilly is played by Lynda Boyd. She is mostly best recognized for her work alongside Diane Keaton in the movies On Thin Ice (2007), She's the Man (2006), An Unfinished Life (2005), and Final Destination 2 (2003). She also provided the voice for Cologne in Ranma ½ and Viv the Bunny in the Littlest Pet Shop anime series on Sunbow.
