Obituary
Lindy L. Scrimsher, age 81, passed away peacefully at home on August 10, 2024, with his devoted wife by his side.
Born on March 30, 1943, in Bellingham, WA, to Marge Scrimsher and Linwood Leighton, Lindy graduated from Bellingham High School in 1961. He dedicated 32 years of service to Whatcom County Public Works, embodying a strong work ethic and commitment to his community.
Lindy’s passions were as diverse as they were enriching. He was an avid sports enthusiast, particularly enjoying softball and golf. His love for the outdoors was reflected in his many hunting trips with his Uncle Vic Wells. Lindy also cherished riding his Harley and maintained a rigorous fitness routine throughout his life.
On February 21, 2000, Lindy married Marianne, and together they shared a deep bond over their mutual love for golf. Lindy took great pleasure in teaching Marianne the game, and they spent many happy years playing together.
Lindy is survived by his three sons, Shane, Chris (Kelli), and Casey, and his four stepchildren, Carianne, Trevor (Jenny), Garett (Shay), and Jenny (Ryan). He leaves behind nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, all of whom were deeply loved and cherished.
A Celebration of Life will be held September 13, 2024 at 1:00pm. At the Ferndale Events Center. Marianne requests everyone wear their brightest golf clothes.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Ferndale High School Golf Program. Contributions can be sent to Ferndale High School ASB, P.O. Box 428, Ferndale, WA 98248.

Lindy was that one in a million kind of guy! He taught so many people to golf and if you were lucky enough to be golfing with him he’d share his wisdom to help improve your game! I know Myles golfed better. I enjoyed the after golf fun when each player turned in their cards and earned money depending on their handicap. Marianne was such a good golfer! We’d enjoy cocktails and beer and talk about the fun everyone had. Lindy you exercised and kept in shape. We were saddened by hearing about your passing heaven has golfing so you’ll be enjoying your favourite sport! We have beautiful memories to cherish of happy times with you and Marianne.

Lindy will be dearly missed. So many High School memories I remember and enjoyed stopping in Parker, Az for that quick visit on our way to and from Yuma.

Lindy was a dear friend and got me back into golf after I returned from the service in 1970. He was super competitive, loved a good laugh, and I will miss him. God bless and keep him until we meet again!
