Abstract

Lilian Teresa Bucken Gobbi, or simply Lilian, a beloved friend of many of us, died unexpectedly on October 20, 2022. We wrote this tribute to recognize her legacy in science. We reviewed Lilian’s education and career and her contributions to the research on balance and locomotion in children, older adults and people with Parkinson’s disease. We also acknowledged her pioneering work on physical activity interventions for people with Parkinson’s disease. Finally, but not least important, we tried to show a little bit about the wonderful human being who Lilian was beyond her scientific contributions.
