Lily G. Peralta

Lily G Peralta December 23, 1932 - October 18, 2022 Lily Peralta, 89, died peacefully in her sleep in her home on Tuesday, October 18. Lily is survived by: her sister, Arnulfa Bienes; her son, Richard, his wife, Rae, and their children Richie, Jake and Rusty; her daughter, Regina, and her children Nico and Tino; her step-son, Romeo, and his children, Nicky and Cindy; her step-son, Rudy, his wife, Zenaida, their children, Rudy Jr and his children Romeo Alberto and Eligio Nicholas; Zecilia “Tasha”, her husband William and their children Alexis Zenaida, Allie Mari and Jade Marie; Renee and his children Christian James and Isabella Renae; her step-daughter Lily, her husband, Ray and their children, Nina and Pebbles. Lily was born to Rufino and Regina Alvarado in the Cebu province of the Philippines, immigrated to the United States of America over 57 years ago and was a Vallejo, California resident for over 49 years. She worked in the Dietary Department in Kaiser Permanente for 30+ years. As she worked her regular full-time job, she had two side hustles as a beautician and as a jewelry designer/buyer/seller. She ramped up her jewelry business after her retirement from Kaiser in 2002. She was skilled in baking, gardening, crafting and sewing. She was famous for her delicious persimmon and nut bread, her colorful layered jello and her abundant garden of orchids and apple, lemon, persimmon, pear and calamansi trees. She was also well-traveled, having toured many different countries and bringing many souvenirs back to fill her home. Lily was definitely an “old school”, multi-skilled and fiercely independent woman who insisted on driving herself around to the very end. (And, yes, she drove with an expired driver’s license because there was no way she was going to let the DMV stop her from doing so.) All arrangement services occur on Wednesday, November 2, 2022.
