Lydia Hester
Commercial and Business Processor

With 36 years of dedicated service in the banking industry, I bring extensive expertise across multiple lending disciplines, including Consumer, Mortgage, and Commercial Lending.

Throughout this distinguished career, the driving passion has remained constant: problem-solving and helping people achieve their financial goals.

Beyond lending expertise, I have demonstrated versatility across various banking functions, including Marketing and Branch Management. A particular highlight includes developing and teaching a financial education class at a local high school, where students gained hands-on experience by running a branch operational innovative program that combined practical learning with real-world banking experience.

This commitment to financial education reflects a broader dedication to community engagement and helping others understand and navigate financial services. The combination of extensive industry knowledge and genuine passion for customer service has made me a trusted advisor to countless clients over the decades.

I am deeply rooted in the Tri Cities community, where both children have chosen to remain and raise their families. As a proud grandparent of four, personal time is spent reading, attending grandchildren's sporting events, enjoying hockey games, and cherishing moments with family.

This blend of professional expertise and strong community ties brings a unique perspective to client relationships—understanding not just the technical aspects of banking, but the real-life dreams and challenges that financial services help address.
