Lydia was born on January 4, 1917 in Eureka, South Dakota, the daughter of Jacob and Katherina (Leicht) Gutjahr. She moved to Marsh, Montana at the age of 5 with her mother and step-father, Christ Roesler. She attended the Garvin School there until February 14, 1931 when the family moved to a home located 11 miles North of Fallon, Montana where Lydia finished the 8th Grade at the Amo School.
Lydia married Eugene Entzel on June 23, 1946 at the Trinity Lutheran Church (east of Fallon). They farmed and raised a family on a farm 13 miles SW of Glendive, growing sugar beets for 31 years and running a dairy herd for 18 years. Eugene passed away from a heart attack on September 1, 1977.
