Judith Acres wrote a sympathy message

“Lydia was so well respected in our community. She followed my dad, Palmer Nordstrom, as CAO of our town, and led our town with dignity and courage. She was such a role model in our United Church and mentored all of us on the church board. It was an honor to have known her. May she rest in peace. Judy Nordstrom Acres”
