In 1957, they moved to Tucson, AZ for health reasons. After her husband’s death in 1973, Lydia stayed in Tucson where she worked as a LPN, caring for people in their own homes. Later, she worked as a receptionist at St. Cyril’s Catholic Church in Tucson. Due to ill health, she moved to Garner to be near her family.
