Lydia worked in security with Securitas, where she was admired for her dedication, reliability, and strong work ethic.

She also had a deep love of animals, finding comfort and companionship in the pets who shared her life.
Above all else, Lydia deeply loved her family.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 39 years, Robert Crook; and their four children, Stephanie, Kevin, Ashley, and David.
She also leaves behind two cherished grandchildren, Jason and Jocelyn, who brought her immense joy.
A service to honor Lydia’s life will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Mullins & Thompson Funeral Service, 186 Shelton Shop Rd, Stafford, VA 22554.
Lydia will be remembered for her love and dedication to her children and family, her quiet strength, her affection for animals, and the warmth she shared with everyone fortunate enough to know her.
*Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
