Lally Cruz Dizon Death
Lally passed on in May 2023. Her friend Ron Chris confirmed the sad news in a statement written: “IN A BLINK OF AN EYE 🙏 Returning from her jam-packed wake at Christ the King, Lally had always been nice and kind to us on each occasion: quite a rarity if you ask when the usual currency is bloated, slight meanness and quite ego-centric.
The bag designer, (who was one of those who pioneered bag repair and maintenance) was a charming staple at design lovefest Manila Fame Maarte and alike, where we would catch up. She would gamely show her new richly colorful wares in swoony exotic leathers.
At gatherings, with no snobbery or haughtiness, Lally was fun and the right amount of naughty as a happy appetizer for a high-octane evening. Kindness always wins and is best, and will be remembered.
Your very sudden passing reminds us that our own goings can be in a blink of an eye, wherein all of us don’t really have much time. The true preciousness, seemingly fleeting nature of our individual pilgrimage is what you taught us today, yours was full of consideration, laughter, and kindness 🙏
Eternal rest grant unto Lally Cruz Dizon and let perpetual light shine upon her. Godspeed Lally+ and pray for us all 🙏”
However, her cause of death has not been determined.
