Lydia was a life-long member of and attended Courtney Baptist Church in Yadkinville, NC. She retired from Hanes Hosiery/Sara Lee with more than 45 years of service. Lydia loved many things; among the most precious were her church, her family, antiques, and traveling. She loved people, as anyone who met her can attest. She had a beautiful smile and was often called "the hat lady" due to her love of hats. Quite often she and her family gathered to play Rook, watch ACC basketball or Major League Baseball (she was an Atlanta Braves fan). Lydia is preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Clayton Shore. She is survived by her children, Sheila Ann Tutterow (Jeff) from Mocksville, NC and Angela Beashel Llewellyn from Pensacola, Fl.: three grandchildren; Benjamin and Nathaniel Tutterow, and Andrew Llewellyn. Also surviving are two sisters: Betty Jane York and Gay Nell Lawrence; and one brother, William (Bill) Ray Baity.
