Lydia Lenae Gallimore

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believed in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14: 1-3 NIV Lydia Lenae Gallimore of Grand Ledge passed away unexpectedly on April 24, 2024. Lydia was born December 19, 1998 in Lansing, Michigan to Brian and Rachel Gallimore. As a child, and the youngest of the Gallimore children, Lydia was joyful, quiet and easy going. From bike rides to the park with her brothers Caleb & Andrew, to sneaking a raw hotdog into her sister Leslie's pillowase, the adventures she had always kept you guessing. While Lydia never won a spelling bee, she could always win her father's heart. Daddy-daughter dances with Brian and Leslie were an annual event. You would always find the three of them on the dance floor swaying together to Butterfly Kisses. Lydia began her career at Paramount Coffee in 2020 and was quickly promoted to the Quality Control Team. If you ever had the privilege of seeing Lydia after work she smelled like a walking cup of delicious coffee. Her employers shared that Lydia was an incredibly hard worker and they were excited to have her as a part of the Paramount Family. Lydia was a loving mother. Her two beautiful children, Elizabeth and Levi, changed her entire world. Lydia quickly found motherhood would be her greatest adventure. She loved capturing special memories with the kids. From family camping trips and frequent Impression 5 excursions, Lydia was always thinking of creative things for the three of them to do. The night before Easter they planted jellybeans and woke up to a sweet surprise the next morning. Lizzy and Levi always were at the top of their Mama's prayer list. After battling many challenges and growing in God's word, Lydia rededicated her life to Christ in the fall of 2022, was baptized and pursued her relationship with Jesus Christ with passion and intensity! She courageously shared her story of struggle, grace and victory with many, and stood as a beautiful testimony of God's unfailing love. Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never die. Romans 11:25-26 Lydia leaves her children, Elizabeth Leos and Levi Cobb; parents, Brian and Rachel Gallimore; siblings, Leslie (L.J.) Knight, Andrew and Caleb (Emily) Gallimore; nephew, Logan Knight along with numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
