Reba Marie Lydy, age 101, of Hastings, Michigan, passed away January 22, 2017 at Thornapple Manor in Hastings. She was born July 11, 1915, the daughter of Benjamin and Minnie (Woolston) Falconer. She attended Hastings High School.
On May 18, 1932, she married George O. Lydy, who preceded her in death in 1999. She worked for 15 years at Hastings Piston Ring. Reba was a very good house keeper and cook. She was a strict mother, which in the end, paid off for her boys. She loved being in Florida for 25 years. Now that she has been reunited with her husband, her boys hope she will let their dad have the last word sometimes.
Reba was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and brothers Bernard Falconer and Robert Falconer. She is survived by her sons Gary (Betty) Lydy, Shannon (Lynette) Lydy, Mike (Becky) Lydy, and Wayne (Jan) Lydy, 15 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, 8 great great grandchildren, and sister-in-law Mary Lydy.
There will be a Memorial Graveside Service at a later date.
