Lilibeth Tagala

It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved mother, Lilibeth Garcia Tagala, on September 1, 2024. Lilibeth’s life was tragically cut short by a sudden heart attack that led to cardiac arrest at the hospital. Lilibeth’s legacy is marked by her unwavering dedication and compassionate service. For over 20 years, she worked as an Anesthesia Technologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where her expertise and caring nature made a significant impact on countless lives. Her role was not just a job but a calling, and she was a source of support and calm in the most critical moments. Before her distinguished career at Johns Hopkins, Lilibeth proudly owned a Filipino store for over 12 years. She was an active and cherished member of the community, sponsoring Filipino basketball games and consistently giving back. Her dedication to community service was a cornerstone of her life and a value she deeply instilled in her daughters. Above all, Lilibeth was a devoted mother and wife who took immense pride in her family. Her daughter Lilytte Tagala, PharmD, RPh, is a licensed pharmacist, and Janette Tagala is an Occupational Therapist Assistant. Lilibeth’s love extended to her late husband, Pedro H. Tagala, Jr., whose memory she held close to her heart. Lilibeth leaves behind her dear siblings Alex Garcia, Eduardo Garcia, Liwanag Garcia, Magdalena Garcia, Michael Garcia, James Garcia and Merlyn Garcia, but joins her beloved parents Erlinda Garcia and Camilo Garcia, along with her husband, in Heaven.
