Nothing made Lydia happier than some sizzling fajitas and frozen margaritas anytime of the year. Lydia's favorite sports' team was the Dallas Cowboys. She loved watching any and all crime shows, morning and evening news, loved the color pink; and you never saw her with out her nails being done. Her favorite Disney movie was Monsters Inc. Though Lydia did not have any children of her own, she enjoyed being a bonus mom to all her nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and great nephews who loved her tremendously.
