Roger L. Lundy

Roger L. Lundy, age 87, a man of deep faith who loved Christmas, will be celebrating this Season with Jesus. He moved to his eternal home on December 5, 2020.  

He was born March 8, 1933 in Allen County, Lima, Ohio to the late Floyd Emmitt Lundy and Sylvia Gladys (Tice) Lundy. On June 13, 1958 he married Alma (Wilson) Lundy who survives. 

A beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle he will be missed by his loved ones.

As a life-long patriot, he served as a Marine during the Korean conflict. He later reenlisted to serve in the Army.

Roger's journey of faith began at the First Church of God where he served in various leadership positions during his time in Sidney. He also attended Burns Avenue Church of God in Lake Wales, FL where he was instrumental in starting the church preschool and later moved to Anderson, IN where he resided for 29 years.
