Lydia was an amazing sweet soul that always put family and friends first.

She brought laughter, wisdom, and serenity to her family.
Lydia was a great seamstress, she made all the aprons for the employees of the very first Taco Bueno that opened in Abilene, TX in 1967. She was very crafty and made beautiful clothes for her children, grandchildren, and church costumes for her Sunday school children while attending North Side Baptist Church for many years.
Grandma's pecan pie, banana pudding, and pumpkin roll were delicious and enjoyed by many! Lydia loved her family and friends beyond measure and had great relationship with the Lord. Gran, I bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived.
