Ronald “Ron” F. Lindley, 80, of Pocahontas, IL, passed away, Saturday, July 3, 2021, at St. John’s Hospital, Springfield, IL.
Ron was born December 4, 1940, to Harold and Alvina (nee Kohlmiller) Lindley in Pocahontas, IL. On July 15, 1961, he married Judy Stewart in Pocahontas, IL.
Ron Lindley was a man after God’s own heart. He was made free by the Spirit of God and was led into the doctrines of free grace. He studied to deliver that free grace to others and as he freely gave without selfish motives, he gave with a pure heart filled with godly love for his family, church family, friends, and neighbors. Ron faithfully served the Lord Jesus Christ and loved Him with all his heart. He was a man filled with the Holy Spirit and he was passionate about preaching the truth of God’s Word.
Ron lived in Pocahontas, IL, all his life. He went to work at the Granite City Steel Mill where he worked for over 30 years before retiring. He faithfully pastored the Cross of Victory Church, located in Greenville, IL. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, going on vacation with and playing fun games with his family, going to Cardinal’s games, and having fellowship with his church family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Alvina Lindley; stepmother, Pearl Lindley; wife, Judy Lindley; uncle, Robert Long; sister, Helen (Chuck) Hoyt; brothers, Clifton (Marilyn) Lindley and Dale (Sharon) Lindley; great-nephew, Jacob Arter.
