On April 2, 1948, she & Jerry were married in Oklahoma City. They later lived in Germany for a few years while Jerry was serving in the Army. In 1966 they bought a lovely ranch home in Westbury, where they raised their family. Jerry Plexco was the Financial VP of Foley’s Department Stores and Lida enjoyed attending many social events including the Mayor’s Consular Ball each year.

Her quiet, pleasant demeanor will forever be missed by her remaining family. She has been reunited with her husband, son, brothers and sisters and her parents in Heaven. A private service will be held at Forest Park Lawndale next week. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
