Lydia B. Gan, 91 years old, of San Diego, California , passed away on Tuesday October 6, 2026. She was born in Binakayan, Kawit, Cavite, Philippines on May 27, 1935. Lydia graduated from Tirona Highschool of Kawit and attended vocational training. She worked for many years as a Clerk Typist at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. She immigrated to the United States in the 1980’s and worked at the Base Hospital of Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada until she retired. Lydia was a devout Catholic. She was known as “Ate Ading” for her relatives in the Philippines or “Lydia” here in the US. Being single and never married, she was a beloved Aunt to all of us. She never missed greeting us on our birthdays and you can bet on getting a gift as well. She was a very thoughtful and caring person and quite a social butterfly with lots of friends everywhere she went. She was very good at crocheting and could not only make stars or butterflies but also blankets for us to enjoy. We will miss her lumpia and bistek tagalog. She was truly a supportive and loving Aunt. Lydia is survived by her brother Primitivo Gan and adopted sister Sonie Gan. Along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. She loved her family very much and sacrificed for them for many years.
