Brown leaves on your lily means that it is stressed...usually to over or under watering. If the leaves are on the bottom...i'd trim them off.

Has it been in the same sized pot all these years?

No it has been seperated and the pots have been changed every year, to a bigger size.

Your plant is stressed...it might be getting moved around too much as well. I only re-pot every 3 years.
