In 1954, Lilia while a nursing student at the University of the Philippines, she met her husband Cecilio Nale. They were married in 1959 in San Diego, CA while Cecilio was serving in the US Navy and Lilia was attending nursing school at the University of San Diego. They eventually settled in San Jose, CA where they have lived since 1971.

Lilia loved cooking, good food, and socializing with friends and family. She was a big sports fan and loved watching baseball and football, especially her local favorites the San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and the Oakland A's. She also loved to travel, seeing many places around the world with Cecilio. Her biggest joy was doting on her grandchildren as "Lola." She had a wonderful sense of humor and always had a big smile that could light up a room.

She is survived by her husband, Cecilio Nale; sons, Jeffrey and Clifford; and grandchildren, Gianna, Dominic, Gabriel, Brandon and Sophia. All brought great joy to her life.
