Lidia was born September 30, 1940, in Santiago, Chile. In 1965, she married Ruben Roger Parra in Chile and months later immigrated to Los Angeles, California where they both became US Citizens. Lidia had her first son Claudio in January 1966. Ruben was born 2 days short of a year after Claudio. Jorge, her 3rd and last son, was born 15 months after Ruben. Lidia was a housewife but when her boys started school, she decided to learn a skill and completed beauty school in 1978. She liked cutting and styling her friends and families hair.
Lidia attended church regularly for many years and was very involved with ministries. In June 2007, she became a certified Chaplain. She volunteered at Antelope Valley Hospital where she offered spiritual guidance to many patients and to those who would listen. Later, her arthritis slowly started to take a toll and she became less mobile.
