The family is comforted in knowing that Lydia loved and served the Lord faithfully throughout her life and is now in heaven. Lydia was involved in many church activities, including teaching Sunday School, leading Pioneer Girls, participating in Youth Groups, then Women's Ministries, Outreach Programs, and singing in the Choir.
Lydia will be remembered for her strong soprano singing voice, love of travel, her strength and determination for surviving breast cancer and for living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), a crippling genetic disease.
Lydia is survived by Barton, her husband of 67 years, her children Brian (Katherine), Garth (Avril) and Heather McLean (Dennis), as well as 8 grandchildren: Scott Crundwell (Candice), Jennifer Jacula (Chris), Ryan Crundwell (Angela), Alyssa Crundwell, Christopher Crundwell (Hailey), Jonathan Crundwell, Shane Beech and Jessica Beech, and 4 great-grandchildren: Grace and Samuel Crundwell, Caitlin and Sophia Jacula.
Lydia was predeceased by both parents, Abram & Sara Braun, as well as her 12 siblings.
A family memorial service will be planned for a later date.
