In Loving Memory of Lindy Lavan Baxley, born April 25, 1948 – February 10, 2023.
Lindy passed away at his home surrounded by family by his side. Lindy was born in Hemingway, SC, to the late Thomas Orin and Lillian Hanna Baxley. He was the beloved husband of Susan Potter Baxley.

Lindy was born April 25, 1948 at the family farm where he grew up until joining the Navy in 1966 and served on the Shio Or Lec, then transferring to the Brinkley Bass until returning home in 1969. Lindy was proud to own his own roofing company and joining Local Roofers #20. He enjoyed playing Hand & Foot with friends and family especially when he would win. Throughout his life he was very adventurous, even crossing some things off his bucket list, like learning to ride a motorcycle in his sixties.
