Lydia passed away on March 9, 2012. She was born on March 13, 1957 and grew up in Lemon Grove, California, graduating from Helix High School. Lydia's smile and laughter brought joy and warmth to all that knew her. She loved spending time with her close knit family and especially being Nani to her nieces and nephews. Lydia dedicated her time to the La Mesa Lions Club, where her leadership was characterized by her enthusiasm and humor. She worked along side her husband Dr. Dan Tarango at Doctors Foot Care Center in La Mesa for nearly 40 years. |
