Born Lillian Marie Bounds in Spalding, Idaho, she grew up in Lapwai, Idaho, on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation where her father worked as a blacksmith and federal marshal. She was working at the Disney Studio in ink and paint as a secretary when she met Walt.
Lillian and Walt Disney married in 1925 in Idaho at Lewiston's Episcopal Church of the Nativity. However, Walt's parents could not attend. As Lillian's own father was deceased, her uncle, who was chief of the Lewiston Fire Department, gave the bride away.
