Lydia Mehrhoff Make-A-Wish® North Texas SEPTEMBER 2015 PA R K E R C O U N T Y T O D AY Lydia Mehrhoff dreamed of being a nurse as a kid. “I love to help people, it’s really cool,” she said. Now a reality, she works as a nurse for North Central Texas Urology and Dr. Avi T. Deshmukh.  Lydia grew up in Weatherford, where her father was the longtime owner of NAPA Auto Parts. She graduated from Weatherford High School and did her nursing training in Fort Worth. Someday she hopes to pursue a physician’s assistant degree. She is the mother of two young children, a boy and a girl. Her son is starting kindergarten this year, and her daughter is starting pre-kindergarten, so it’s a year of big changes in her household. When they spend time together, Lydia said, “We like to do all sorts of things; swimming, practice baseball, all of the fun stuff.” As a busy single mom, she doesn’t have much time to herself, but when she is able, she enjoys hanging out with friends.
