She peacefully passed away at the Linden Nursing Home, Linden, Alberta, on February 13, 2006, at the age of ninety-two years. She resided in Linden all her life. At the age of eighteen, Lydia felt the need of a Savior. Min. Harvey Fricke baptized her upon the confession of her faith on February 15, 1932. She remained faithful to her vows throughout her life. After her mother died when Lydia was ten years old, she lived at home with her dad and brothers for three years. From here the children were separated and went to live with different uncles and aunts. Lydia stayed with Grandma Baerg and Aunt Anna Ratzlaff through her growing up years. Her father married Mrs. Agnes Froese in 1945. Lydia appreciated her new mother and enjoyed the family that became her brothers and sisters. She lived and worked in the telephone operator's house for about eleven years and also enjoyed several other jobs after that. Later she lived with Aunt Anna, who passed away in 1965, leaving her alone. On December 17, 1969, Lydia was united in marriage to Abe C. Toews from Manitoba. They shared joys and sorrows for nineteen years until Abe passed away in October of 1988, leaving her very lonely. Throughout the years she enjoyed babysitting her nieces and nephews. She remained a very special aunt to us all. She spent the last eight and one-half years at the Linden Nursing Home, Linden, Alberta. Those left to cherish fond memories are stepson John, and nine grandchildren; four brothers: Frank and Margaret, Claude, Norman and Susie, all of Linden, Alberta, and Abe and Mary, Abbotsford, British Columbia; special cousin, Dave and Bertha Ratzlaff and family; the Froese family; and many nieces and nephews. Her husband, her parents, stepmother, one stepson, two brothers, and four sisters-in-law preceded her in death. Funeral services were held at the Linden Congregation, Linden, Alberta, on February 16, 2006. Officiating ministers were Roland Toews, Jake Boese, and Cornie Wiebe. Interment was in the Linden Cemetery, Linden, Alberta, with Min. Adin Klassen in charge.
