Lydia K. Myl age 90 of Wayne died Tuesday December 23, 2008 at home. She passed away quietly and peacefully while she receiving the loving care of her granddaughter Karen and daughter Kathy at the time of her passing who was holding her hand.

She was born in Passaic and had lived her formative years in Garfield before moving to Wayne forty-five years ago.

Lydia received her formal education at Garfield High School graduating with the Class of 1935. She was very active in the school’s athletic program and was a proud member of the Garfield High School Cheerleaders.

She was employed at Belles Fashions a ladies clothing retailer which originated in Passaic and later moved to Willowbrook Mall in Wayne. Lydia was the store’s buyer for thirty-five years before her retirement.

By nature she had a regal manner, about her, always dressed beautifully and always concerned about her appearance. When she walked into a room she would light up the room with her humor, her presentation persona and her wonderful personality traits. She was often the life of the party. Her family recalls that she was gifted with a flirt gene that caused her to be very attractive to others.

Lydia was an excellent cook and used her imagination to ingratiate Polish and Italian recipes. She invented the best zucchini cookies to the delight of her family and friends.

As a mother and grandmother she was very special. Perhaps the highlight of her life was granddaughter Karen her “Sweet Potato.”

Mom, “Gramma” we love you. “Gramma” you are my heart. We’ll miss you and always remember the sound of your beautiful voice.

Surviving are her daughter Kathy Sager of Wayne; her very special granddaughter Karen Sager of Wayne; her very special care giver Ania who took care of her for two years and was a devoted friend, and of course her loving and faithful companion Coco.
