My Oma, a beautiful soul who loved her grandchildren beyond words. My childhood memories with her are filled with genuine happiness which warms my heart when I reflect upon those wonderful times in my life. I remember spending so many weekends with her in my youth, and these are cherished moments that I wish I had the ability to go back in time and re-live. We spent endless hours listening to all of the master classical composers while noshing on various tasty snacks and playing Uno, Sternhalma (Chinese checkers), and of course her all-time favorite game, Scrabble. I don’t believe I ever beat her even once at that game, and English was not her first language. Everything else stopped at 7pm each night when Wheel of Fortune came on the television. I don’t believe she ever missed an episode. Opa had a different opinion of the show, calling it, “Wheel of Torture“, and he would usually leave the room when it came on, to read, or tinker in the basement or garage. I would usually sit and watch it with her and she would usually solve the puzzles before me. She also loved crossword puzzles and I think all of these things helped her learn English. Most mornings she would make my favorite breakfast, her amazing apple pancakes, that were more like crepes in their delicate consistency. I can still smell and taste them in my mind. We went to see many movies together over the years, and frequently walked around Panorama Plaza in Penfield where she would almost always spoil me by buying me a record or cassette, or later a CD that I really wanted at the time. We took trips down to the GCL for many a Friday night fish fry and walks through Linear Park with Opa and his beloved golden retriever, Dino. On many weekends, especially in the Fall, we would go to Schutt’s Apple Mill in Penfield for their incredible cider and other goodies. In 1986, just she and I went to Germany together for three weeks, where I first met her mother, Mathilde, her brothers Oskar and Hans, their spouses, and several cousins. In 1992, upon my high school graduation, I went back to Germany with she and Opa, this time for four weeks. I got to meet more relatives there, and see even more of the country, as well as the Netherlands and Belgium. I have attached a couple of photos from those trips, of Oma with her mother, and with her brothers. We also took a couple of trips to Cranberry Lake, in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains, one of Opa’s favorite places, as well as several drives to the Finger Lakes region of New York, and the towns of Dansville, and Pavilion to visit with their good friends who lived there. There are countless good memories of my time spent with Oma as a kid. Years later, I got married to my wife of nearly 17 years now in Oma and Opa’s spacious back yard in Penfield. We moved to Arizona the following year and I didn’t get to see my grandparents as much after that, but we made a few trips back to Rochester to visit and they made the trek to Arizona once to visit us as well, before it became to difficult for them to travel. Opa passed away in 2012, and unfortunately never had a chance to meet his twin great-granddaughters, born in 2013, but Oma did get to meet them twice, which I am so grateful for, especially since we named one of our girls, Lydia, in honor of Oma. Rest in eternal peace, Oma. Ich liebe Dich.

Dorothy thank you for emailing me. I am very saddened by the news, even if it is expected. My deepest condolences to you, your family and Wolf. I fondly remember after a wonderful dinner trying to play scrabble with Mutti especially when she tried to use German words I had no idea how to spell, then watching 'wheel of torture!!' She was very generous with items from the homes she worked at. I got a beautiful sea foam green silk dress that I treasured and wore, as often as possible, with pride. Oh and her cookies, OMG, the dinners were great the desserts EVEN BETTER!! I remember how gracious she was around Henry passing, I had not seen anyone in so long but she always made me feel like a treasured member of the family. May each day dawn a little less darkly, remembering her makes me smile, she was very special but then you all know that.

Dear Dorothy, Bud, and family
We were saddened to read in the paper about the passing of Lydia. As you know she touched our lives back in the '80s, when she worked for the DeLucas. The three DeLuca boys and our three boys always played together. When they weren't out terrorizing the neighborhood, they would be in the house, probably giving Lydia fits. She somehow survived the onslaught. I'm sure she had to be stern with them, but I know my kids liked her, and preferred to play at the DeLuca's house all the time. We often asked her if the kids behaved for her, and she would always say, "Oh don't worry, they were fine." I, of course, knew better. My German grandfather used to say the same thing to my parents whenever he baby sat for us, "They were good." (We weren't.)
Our condolences to you and the family.
Betsy and Larry

My heart is crying. I loved that lady! I knew her from Penfield Recreation. We would ride the van there together and she would always comment on a letter that I had written to one of the local newspapers.
The last time I saw her was at a Penfield Symphony concert. She could barely see me, but knew who I was when we started talking.
And I know I'm not the only one who loved her. I shared the news of her passing with the Penfield Rec chat room this morning and the reaction from everyone was sadness that this beautiful soul had left us.
So sad that, in this crisis, we can't even mourn her properly. Please do let us know when there will be a memorial service.
Ruhe in Frieden, liebe Lydia.
