Lydia Mae Kendrick

I was born December 5, 1936, in Paradise, Cache County, Utah, on a very cold, snowy day. My parents were William Griffiths and Lydia Jackson Obray. 

I grew up with five brothers and four sisters. My brothers were Golden, William (Bill), Kay Hard, Alma, and Clark. My sisters were Hilda Olsen, Vance Christensen, Shirley Rich, and LaRue Obray. All of my brothers and sisters have passed away.

 I met and married the love of my life, John Francis Kendrick. We were married on July 9, 1954, and later sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on May 19, 1965. Together, we were blessed with three daughters: Vicky (Brent) Stevensen of Layton, Utah; Teressa (Teri) , who preceded me in death; and Jolene (William) Rasco, who also preceded me in death. I am also blessed with six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, who have brought so much love and happiness into my life.

My funeral arrangements are scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026. I will have a viewing from 10:30-11:30 am at Nelson Funeral Home (162 E 400) followed by a short service at 12 noon. I will be laid to rest in the Paradise Cemetery.

I love you all very much.
