    A lovely smile has left us….Lydia G. (Matyak) Anderson, 93, passed away Thursday morning, March 12, 2015, at Clare Bridge in Topeka. She was born on Jan.1, 1922, on the family farm in Carter, South Dakota, the daughter of Paul and Marie (Dolezilek) Matyak. Lydia had three brothers Paul, Frank, and Joe. Lydia attended Curlew Grade and Witten High Schools, both in South Dakota. She moved with her family to Delia, Kansas, when she was 16 and graduated from Delia High School in 1942. She then moved to Topeka, where she began a self-taught career in accounting, working for Marvin Maydew, CPA. This firm was later bought out by Kennedy and Co., which was the firm she retired from.
    Lydia married John Saccocio in 1946. They divorced in 1952. She married Jack Anderson on June 9, 1955.

They enjoyed many trips, including to her family homeland Czechoslovakia, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, Italy, Germany, Greece, and Switzerland. Their travel included many cruises.
    Lydia was a remarkable lady in all facets. She was always fashionably dressed throughout her work career, and turned many heads on the sidewalks of downtown Topeka! She was very artistic and had a very special beauty and kindness that will be remembered by all who knew her.
    She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Marie Matyak; her husband, Jack Anderson; and her three brothers, Paul F. Matyak of Delia, Frank A. Matyak of Topeka, and Joe W. Matyak of Rossville.
    She is survived by sister-in-law, Edna Matyak of Rossville; brother-in-law, Robert (Sue) Anderson of Topeka; and many nieces and nephews.
