Lidia Becerra Cairns was born December 19, 1937 in Kansas City, Kansas to John and Lucy Overa Becerra. She grew up and attended school in the Kansas City area. Lidia was united in marriage to Donald Cairns.
Throughout her life Lidia would work in various jobs, from drug stores, factories, and catering, always working hard no matter the job. When she wasn’t at work, she was a loving and devoted mother to six children.
Lidia may have been small in stature, but not in personality. She was someone who loved to have fun! She loved her Chiefs football, shopping trips to thrift stores, and to travel, especially to California to see family. Lidia enjoyed to cook, even making dinner for her beloved pets. She never liked to be rushed, and would often be late to things, saying “I’ll be there, when I get there!” In other words, you could say she had a mind of her own, and an opinion to match. Those who knew and loved her as a sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother will forever miss her. “Tell ‘em we’re coming!”
Lidia was preceded in death by her parents, husband Donald Cairns, son George Becerra, and siblings, Richard Becerra, Joe Becerra, Johnny Becerra, Charlotte Montear, and Lucy Miller. She is survived by her son Frank Becerra and wife Tina of Hume, MO., son Tim Cairns and wife Barbara of Independence, MO., son Dennis Cairns of Kansas City, MO., daughters Donna Cairns of Hume, MO., and Morning Star Lang of Toganoxie, KS., along with 15 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, sisters, Rosie Tizon and Patricia Rodriquez of Kanas City, MO., and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
