Waugh-Lyndaker
 CROGHAN- It is with sadness that we are announcing the passing of
our mother, grandma, sister, aunt and friend; Cindy L. Waugh-Lyndaker, 66,
made her journey on Sunday, January 18th with her family, close
friends and Hospice at her side.
Cindy was born June 3, 1959 in
Watertown,
the daughter of the late Elwood Gates and Ruth Arlene (Nicholl) Waugh. She
graduated from Copenhagen Central School, the Class of 1977, and later
successfully completed studies for Certified Nursing Assistant. She retired
from Samaritan Keep Home as a CNA, working
in the adult day care program; for many years and after retirement, Cindy
cared for the elderly, allowing them to continue to live safely in their
homes.
She married
Lawrence L. Lyndaker on July
13, 2012 in Croghan with his
brother Rev. Bruce Lyndaker officiating. She and Larry made their home on William Street.
Larry passed away on January
15, 2024.
Cindy loved going
to Martha’s Vineyard; she vacationed there
with some of her sisters, and occasionally other family & friends, and
with Larry. She enjoyed cruises, and trips to the Lancaster, PA
area. Cindy loved western dancing, yet her interpretation of 'Wipe
Out' was memorable. She loved her grandbabies, and she easily earned
the title of “favorite aunt” through her long-lasting relationships with
her extended family.
Cindy was a
member of Emmaus Bible Fellowship.
She is survived
by her children: Whitney L. Waugh; Jennah H. Smith; Amanda L. Lyndaker;
John A. (Alexis) Lyndaker and her grandbabies, Lincoln John and Liam
Patrick Lortie; Mckenzie, Ryker, Olivia, and Chloe Barney; Clayton Lawrence
and Cora Holly Lyndaker. Cindy is also survived by her siblings:
Aileen Waugh Robbins; Brenda Wilmot; Sue Mattis; Becky (Ronnie) Sullivan;
JoAnn (Wilmer "Sonny") Lyndaker; Lorraine "Sam"
Stewart; Sandy "Corky" (Phil) Adams; Tina (Thom) Stanford; Diane
(Doug) Oliver; her sister-in-law, Shelley Waugh; by Larry's family: Bruce
(Pam) Lyndaker, Fern Herzig, Emer (Kim) Lyndaker, Valerie (Bill) Bush,
Anita Lyndaker, Barry "Joe" (Holly) Lyndaker, and many wonderful
nieces, nephews, and cousins. Cindy's dear friend of more than 40
years, Tina Campany Johnson, also survives her.
Cindy is
predeceased by her sister and her husband, Maggie (Honey) & Maurice
Vary; her cherished brother, Donnie Waugh; her brothers-in-law, Richie
Robbins, Bob Wilmot, Cliff Mattis, Jay Stewart, Doug Herzig and Mike
Lyndaker.
A memorial
service will be held at 1:30 pm on
Sunday, January 25th at the Croghan
Mennonite Church,
with Paul Cornell and Bruce Lyndaker, Pastors of Emmaus Fellowship,
officiating. A light luncheon and fellowship will follow the service. Food
may be dropped off at the church starting at 1:00pm on Sunday.
Memorials in
Cindy’s name may be made to: Friends Of Lewis
County Hospice, Inc., P.O. Box
266, Lowville, NY 13367
or Charity of One's Choice.
