Lydia was the best Mother and Oma. She loved her family above everything. Gardening, baking, tending and growing her flowers and watching nature programs were some of her favourite things to do. She was a member of the church choir and C.W.L. for many years and prayer was an important part of her day. She enjoyed hosting friends and family whether it was for a meal, coffee and dessert or an evening of card playing. She was remembered by all for her special tortes and baked goods. Her recipes and techniques for making apple hand pies, strudels and knepfle were passed on to her daughters and granddaughters. Lydia was quick with a smile and warm and friendly to everyone she met. Her love of animals showed when her families visited with their fur babies and she made sure to have pet treats on hand for all of them. Her family would like to thank Dr. Jeraj and all the staff at Good Samaritans Village for taking care of Mom with such compassion, kindness and gentleness enabling her to keep her dignity. You are truly Angels on earth for doing the job you do each day.
