Lydia lived her life the best she knew and left this earth wishing for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to find security, protection and happiness in this world of uncertainty.

She was known for her strong will and unwavering determination. While growing up during WWII and living the constant threat of danger in war zones it thought her to become strong to deal with life’s challenges.

Up until her last day Lydia maintained her kindness, grace, compassion, appreciation of beauty, love of family and friends and expressed gratitude for her long life full of wonderful and varied experiences.

Lydia was a gem of a person who appreciated all that life gave her, until she was ready to walk through heavens door. Even in her diminished state near the end of her life, she made new friends in her assisted living facility, where she was a helping friend to fellow residents.

Lydia was grateful to have lived her 93 years of life with full of experience alongside her loving and caring family, many good friends and compassionate caregivers.

While our hearts mourn the loss, we take comfort in knowing Lydia is no longer in pain. We are thankful for the love she shared and cherish all the memories we made. Her legacy will carry on forever through the lessons she taught us and reminding us that we control our attitudes'. We choose to live a life of meaningful acts of love, kindness and service, like Christ modeled for us.
