My deepest sympathies to the family. I am so sorry for your loss. I had just reconnected with Lydia after years of wondering what ever happened to... I am so sad to learn of her passing. In college, we used to "hang". We were runnin' buddies and Alpha Angels together back in the day!. She was so much fun. So sweet, kind and just a great person to be around. I miss her again. Rest in heaven, Lydia.

Lydia will be so missed here at OID. I am thankful to have had the chance to know her and work with her for several years. Lydia was always quick to laugh and help whenever possible. On several occasions she solved a consumers problem so quickly they told me they were surprised and relieved. I am sorry she didn't have more time! I pray each of her family members are lifted up and covered in love and support in the days ahead!!!

I watched the service live due to the pandemic and would have shared this with everyone to celebrate Lydia. I had a bad habit of saying “surely” all the time, and Lydia never missed the opportunity to say “Don’t call me Shirley!” We worked together for 16 years at the OID and we’re fellow Scorpios. But, she was much nicer and as Donna Dorr mentioned yesterday, she was always the better person when it came to gossiping or being kind. I’ll always remember her giggle and how much she loved her family. Please know I am there per our discussion and I’m thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and strength during this sad time.
