I’ve only known Mrs. Lidiak for 8 months but got to spend some quality time with her and get to know her a bit. At 91 years young, I found her to be witty, mentally sharp, and very friendly. Only a couple of months before her passing she was wanting to go to Shreveport to play the slot machines! She enjoyed our taking her out to lunch, drink some wine with us, and go and get her nails and hair done. I had the privilege of taking her to the DFW national cemetery to visit her late husband’s grave only a couple of weeks before she passed. She knew the way there and made sure I didn’t miss any turns. Very sharp, friendly, and warm woman to get to know. It was a privilege, Mrs. Lidiak. God rest your soul.
