Ms. Lydia was a homemaker, where she indulged in making their home perfect, especially with her favorite color pink. She loved entertaining her friends who often spent time at their house, she developed many close friendships throughout the years. She loved to crochet and do word search puzzles. She adored animals. One of her favorite things to do was to go out to lunch or supper, whether with Woodrow or her friend group. She was particularly fond of T-Roy’s, Jimmy B’s and Margaret’s Lounge as her culinary getaways. Mrs. Berry was a godly lady and she worshiped daily. She attended Mullins-Marion Freewill Baptist Church where she loved the congregation as her own family, and they loved her back tenfold.
