Lydia passed away June 21, 2026, in Boise, Idaho. Born on Nov. 6, 2004, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Lydia brought smiles to everyone she encountered. 

At a young age, Lydia was creative, inquisitive, and open to possibilities. She had a great passion for beachcombing, cherished a good antiquing session, and made time for hours of thrifting. Lydia enjoyed weightlifting with friends, cooking with family and experimenting with sourdough creations to share with all. An exceptional Boise State University student, Lydia maintained straight A’s and frequently made the Dean’s List. 

Lydia is survived by her loving parents, James Jenkins and Jennifer Jenkins, and her brother, Jack. She will be deeply missed by her grandparents, Leroy and Janet Damm, and Jack and Debra Jenkins.

A private celebration of life will be held by her family to honor her memory. Her final resting place will be in the peaceful surroundings of Heron, Mont. True to her giving nature, Lydia was an organ donor. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you give the gift of life by making a local blood donation or by considering registering as an organ donor in her memory. (Love you most, baby girl).
