Obituary
Age 60, passed away on Thursday, May 19, 2022. Lydia was born in Bronx, NY, on April 15, 1962, the daughter of Samson and Louise (Gittens) Reese. She was an avid reader and enjoyed a good book. 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. Nothing was more important to her than her family and she was very proud of her children, who survive her, Michael Burns of Washington, D.C., Stanley Burns of Portage, Abriana Burns of Minneapolis, MN; she is also survived by her sisters, Lorna Reese and LaRee Reese; and many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Mitchell Reese.
I miss you already. You were so loved and a great person , most of all you were a wonderful loving mother and adored your children. You kept me laughing at low times, I wont ever forget you. I have years worth of emails from you to keep me company. Rest In Peace Lydia, we love you.
To Lydia’s Family: we were saddened to learn of your loss. We worked with Lydia at KCSD. Always fun when she was there and she was always willing to lend a hand where it was needed. Her sense of humor was beyond funny. Once in the locker room she remarked, “Girl – you need to get some sun. Your legs are so white they’re almost blue!” And she was right! God give you all peace and grace in this hard time.
I am saddened by this news. My heart is heavy. Lydia and I sat together at church in Muskegon. We were on the front row, and some time had to control our giggles. Nothing funny, but we enjoyed each other and loved to laugh. She will be missed by many I know, because of her fun loving spirit. My sincere thoughts and prayers to Michael, Chris and Abriana. ❤️🙏🏽
