She was a family friend. She came to visit with my Mom but would teach us about the Moon and the Stars. We nicknamed her "Moon Lady" when she stopped over one day wearing a shirt with the Moon and stars on it. We loved to listen to her as children. I would think of her often. So sorry to hear of her passing. Rest in Peace Lydia.
