I will always remember the kind caring help I received from Sister Lydia Mary while attending Resurrection High School. I was truly fortunate to attend Resurrection High School ( unfortunately for only one year) and to receive her caring gentle guidance.

"A Life Well Lived"! A remarkable Life's Journey as sister touched so many of us in the formative teen years while at St. Casimir. Truly a servant of God; and now blessed with being forever in His loving arms. Heart tugs looking back! (Class of 1959)

Dearest Family of Sister Lydia Mary, Please accept sincere condolences at this time of sadness. She was a very good principal at St. Casimir School and lived a long life teaching good classes to her students. She has now joined all the Sisters of the Congregation of the Resurrection religious order in heaven who also were my teachers and mentors in life. God bless. Respectfully submitted, Pauline V. Adelman (Wierzgac) and Family.

Sister Lydia was a dear friend of our Aunt, Sister Mary Camille. We remember her fondly as we grew up with the Sisters of the Resurrection. She was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and wit.
