Lilia Tinoco

Lilia "Lily" Tinoco, 92, born on February 10, 1933, passed away August 08, 2025. Lily was born in Colima, Col, Mexico at her Grandfather's family house to parents Benjamin and Maria Valladares. Lily was an only child and traveled quite a bit as a child due to her father who held various roles in the Mexican government which required moving often.

Lily married Agustin "Gus" Tinoco in 1955 who decided as newlyweds to try another life in the US and joined Gus's brother. Despite not knowing the language, customs, or many people, they managed to make Los Angeles their home and raise a family. With hard work they were able to provide for their sons Ivan and Tito.

Lily found love again later in Life when she met Oswaldo "Ozzie" Vandenberg. The two traveled and enjoyed dancing. They had a wonderful time together. Lily lived a long full life. She will be remembered for always having a smile and an open house where all were welcome.

Lily is survived by her sons Ivan and Tito, their wives, five Grandchildren, Amanda and her husband, Carly, Travis, Christian, Spencer, and Great Granddaughter Olivia.

May the Lord bless her soul.
