She enjoyed the arts and creativity. Mystery movies and TV shows were her favorite and she liked listening to music of all kinds. She was crafty and liked making things from scratch. Lydia was a hands-on kind of person who took control and got things done when faced with a problem. Lydia had a great sense of humor and was not afraid to speak her mind. She was known for her effervescent personality. She touched many people in small ways and was always willing to lend a hand when people needed help. She will be remembered for many things.
