Lydia Cowlishaw
Lydia Ann Peck Buckles Cowlishaw has been reunited with her sweetheart, Paul Cowlishaw. She was born on October 31, 1936 in Santa Ana, California, to Victor and Zenna Peck as the ninth of nine children. She was fortunate to stay in her home until the day she passed because of her loving children (Mom said to say that), the Browns, Dr. Bryan Campbell, and her dear neighbors. She passed away surrounded by loved ones on November 11, 2026.
She is survived by her children: Shauna (Steve) Alcorn, Mont (Patti) Buckles, Shirley (Cory) Schultz, Paula (Steve) Boone, and Lisa (Tim Katz) Folker. She is also survived by 33 grandchildren and their partners; 23 great-grandchildren and their partners; and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister and one sister-in-law. She is also survived by a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She loved everyone she knew. Family could not be big enough!
She grew up in Salt Lake City but called Ogden home for most of her life. She graduated from Ogden High; earned her B.S. and M.S. from Weber State; then earned her Administrative Endorsement from Utah State University. She was a lifelong learner and teacher, turning that passion into a job as an elementary teacher and principal.
She loved traveling, reading, music, painting, crocheting, Hallmark movies, and anything that involved spending time with family and friends. Wednesday Art Group was a favorite.
She was a faithful member of the LDS Church holding numerous callings in the Mt. Ogden Ward. She spoke often of her fond memories of serving a mission to Russia with Dad.
Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children, grandchildren, family, and friends.
