Lindy was an avid gardener and loved the Washington Football (Washington Redskins) team.

Mr. Devart also served as Santa Clause at the school, for the Clarksburg Christmas events, and for many churches over the years. He was always the friendly face around town in his old green Ford pickup-truck and shared smiles and waves to everyone he saw. Over the years he also enjoyed his furry companions, “Ashes and Sheba,” and his most recent “Cocoa” who along with his family and many friends will miss him dearly. A Celebration of Life for Lindy will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 12:30pm at the Bailey Memorial United Methodist Church in Rosemont.
