Lilli's Hermano(a)
Lilli Bautista Rusk

"Compassion, understanding, acceptance, optimism and love were Lilli’s super powers." ~ P.Rusk
Lilli passed away on Friday October 4, 2024, at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Texas.
Born on May 30, 1958, to Cris (deceased) and Lily in San Francisco, California, Lilli Anne Rusk (nee Bautista) is survived by her mother, Lily; her brothers, Chris and Ralph (Bridget); and her husband, Paul.
Inseparable since their third date in 1988, when Paul realized he would attain eternal bliss if he could earn her love, Lilli married Paul on November 23, 1994. The two started each day with a kiss and an exchange of “I love you”.
When Lilli and Paul first met, Lilli’s career was that of a corporate travel agent. Her quick mind and exceptional organizational skills allowed her to excel, as evidenced by CEOs of corporations who insisted that Lilli handle their travel. Fortunately, Lilli retired early when the internet disintermediated the travel agency industry. She spent the last few decades of her life traveling and living in different places, including Australia for a year.
Compassion, understanding, acceptance, optimism and love were Lilli’s super powers. Lilli's huge heart and non-judgmental ways won her an enormous sphere of fans and friends all over this world. Whether through yoga, tennis, charity work, and other activities, Lilli shied from being the center of attention. Instead, she delighted in being the force that elevated all who loved her. A few minutes with Lilli, and you knew your life would be better with her in it. She was easy to love. She was easy to confide in. Her heart seemed limitless. With Lilli you knew you were loved, supported, safe, important, and beautiful.
Lilli’s treasured group throughout her life were the Balderama sisters (May, Mya & Janie) and Janie’s husband Randy. Seeing them together was a lesson in how to enjoy life and each other.
Lilli cherished each and every friendship, and their lives were better ~ thanks to Lilli.

When I first met Lilli, it was to wrap Christmas presents for Lorraine. It was back when she and Paul moved back from Sydney. They let me use their address for deliveries so everything could remain a surprise. We dubbed it Santa’s Secret Workshop. We had a such great time chatting that it wound up taking me over two hours to wrap everything. But in that time, it felt like I had known Lilli forever. That was the magic of Lilli. She was a sea of connections. To be around Lilli was to be embraced by her energy. She carried a cheerful resilience, even as she fought her battle with cancer. Her strength wasn’t just in her physical practice but in the way she lived her life with intention, compassion, and dedication. As a focal point in our local Ashtanga community, she brought us together in harmony, encouraging growth, balance, and inner peace. She united us and showed us the beauty in the intertwining of our lives. Lilli's spirit was a beacon of love and strength, which radiated throughout the community. Lilli's passing reminds us that life is fragile and precious. As we honor her memory, let us carry her spirit with us and strive to emulate her love for connection and community. May we cherish the moments we shared with her and allow them to guide us as we continue to navigate the vast ocean of life.

Alive in my heart and in the stories I will share are decades of memories with Lilli, they are deeply cherished. I am transported when I recall the many laughs we shared. All the time, anyplace we never knew what would trigger our laughing fits, sometimes just a simple look at one another would set us off. Lilli was truly unique… her authenticity shines through in her kindness, generosity, positivity, and love she shared with all of us. I miss you, Lilli, my Gemini twin.

My strong loving cousin, I will miss you so much. It’s hard to believe you are gone. I know you are out of pain now and watching over us. Paul you will always be family and we are here for you.
