Lilia Tirado Bain

Lilia Tirado Bain VIRGINIA BEACH – Lilia Tirado Bain passed away Jan. 31, 2009 in Virginia Beach. A native of the Philippines, she was the daughter of the late Policarpo and Enrica Tirado. She was a founding member of St. Mark's Catholic Church. She is survived by her husband, Larry G. Bain; a daughter, Rhonda L. Bain-White and her husband Norman White; two sisters, Corazon Ramos and Christy Buchanan; a brother, Wilfredo Tirado; three grandchildren, Haley Ann Olson, Maya Lilia White and Evan Bain White; and a great-grandson, Hayden Marshall. She was preceded in death by a sister, Anita Abellana; and three brothers, Gregory Tirado, Mario Tirado and Jesus Tirado. God saw that she was getting tired, so He put His arms around her and whispered, "Come home with me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating; a determined spirit was at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. A funeral mass will be offered Thursday at 11 a.m. in St. Mark's Catholic Church, 1505 Kempsville Road, by Fr. James Griffin. A committal service will be held at 2 p.m. in Albert G. Horton Jr. Memorial Veterans Cemetery, 5510 Milners Road, Suffolk. The family will receive friends Wednesday from 7 to 8 p.m. in Graham Funeral Home, Greenbrier Chapel.
