Lila C. Dizon, 94, previously of Lanikai, Hawaii, passed away of natural causes at Olalani Senior Care residential home in Kaneohe, on October 5, 2021. She was the eldest daughter of the late Rev. A. B. and Irene Clausen of Alabama. She received her bachelors and masters degrees in education at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, and married fellow student Joseph H. Dizon in 1950 in Honolulu. Lila will be remembered for her musical prowess; Christian ministry, including her booklet "The Lost Sheep"; a love of high tea; and--above all--a gentle, loving spirit which always strove to do and be the best for others. She is survived by children Darian Best (Gordon, d. 1999) and Richard J. Dizon (Winnie) of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Dana L. Ratay (Jeff) of Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania; and grandson Joshua D. R. Ratay of Charleston, South Carolina. Her ashes will be scattered privately. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Lila's name to Kailua Church of the Nazarene, 536 Oneawa St., Kailua, Hawaii 96734, or to a charity of one's choice.
