I met Lydia in 2018 and spoke with her everyday. My last conversation with her was at 8 PM November 29, 2022. I can confirm that her heart was a pure one and that her love of people and community was immense.

The first thought that comes to mind when remembering Lydia was her infectious smile and kind heart. When I first met Lydia, she was was inviting, social and overall you could tell right a way she was an all around genuine person. I will miss seeing her around and I am so sorry to hear this saddening news. Lydia will be missed.
