Lillian Rowan, pianist and entertainer
Lillian Betz Rowan, 81, a pianist who performed the standards in area clubs and restaurants, died Sunday. She resided at Twin Towers Nursing Home, College Hill.
Mrs. Rowan, who played from 1937 until she was in her 70s at Sorrento's Restaurant in Reading, also had been an occasional guest on "The Paul Dixon Show" that aired on Channel 5 between 1955 and 1974.
From the 1950s through the 1970s, she played at Six Mile House and at numerous gatherings and functions.
"It was very amazing," her son, Thomas Rowan of Greater Cincinnati, said of his mother's musical abilities. "She learned to play by ear and taught herself to read music at 50 years of age.
"She still played piano until about a year ago. And until a month ago, she could put her hands on the piano and smile," Rowan said. "She made a lot of people happy."
In her later years, Mrs. Rowan worked at the Cincinnati Fire Museum. She also played piano for charity events.
A memorial will be held in the summer, and will feature the music she loved, her son said. Memorials may be made in her name to the Alois Alzheimer Center.

Thomas S. Oates: firefighter by birthright
Firefighting runs in Thomas Sheridan Oates' blood. His father and brother were firefighters in Cincinnati, and Mr. Oates was a retired captain with the Bellevue, Ky., Fire Department.
"He grew up with it," said a daughter, Shirley Janson, of Bellevue. "That's probably why he held a special place for it in his heart."
Mr. Oates, 83, died of cancer Monday.
He grew up in Cincinnati, where he played on a semi-professional football team with the father of Cincinnati baseball legend Pete Rose.
In 1934, he married his wife of 64 years, Cora M. Jones Oates. The couple raised their four children in Bellevue, where they lived until 1970, when the government bought their home for the construction of I-471.
Mr. Oates attended St. Xavier High School and technical school. He worked for 37 years as a stationary engineer at the American Book Co.
Around 1954, the Navy veteran started volunteering for the Bellevue Fire Department, helping recruit and train new members. When he retired, he was captain.
Besides his wife and daughter, he also leaves daughters, Sharon Boberg of Bellevue and Susan Betigheimer of Anderson, Ind.; son, Thomas Oates Jr.; brother, Robert Oates; and sister, Ann Oswald, all of Cincinnati; 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Mass: 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Anthony Church, Bellevue. Visitation: 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at Dobbling Funeral Home, Bellevue.
