I disagree. Although I guess it is technically a valid interpretation it is more usual to use the word late for people who have passed away. It depends on the context, but usually "old" accompanied by a proper noun in my mind evokes a sense of reverence. When used with an improper noun can mean a lot of things but it is usually as you said, something from a previous time or something advanced in years.

EDIT: But then "late" is usually used with a personal pronoun or a definite article so "old Lily" as it is used in the poem does not make much sense. The only conclusion I can draw is someone the person speaking has known for a long time.
