Born on September 1, 1951 in Great Lakes, Illinois she and her parents Walt and Gloria Palmer along with her sister Debbie, relocated to Catheys Valley when she was one. Lindy has been a resident of Catheys Valley ever since attending school there and going on to graduate from Mariposa County High School.

Since her retirement she has been very active in the community helping start the Hornitos 4-H club, she was the treasurer of the Hornitos Patrons club, supported the Merced Elks Lodge and helped wherever she was needed. Lindy loved spending time with her three grandchildren. She would always take them to their sporting events, 4-H club meetings, or just pick them up to spend quality grandma time with them. It was one of her favorite things to do! Lindy also loved the big family get together's during the Holidays. She loved spoiling her grandkids and her dog Mhily.
Lindy was preceded in death by her parents Walt and Gloria Palmer, her brother Gary Palmer, her infant son Gary Brower, maternal grandparents Chet and Linda Guenthart, paternal grandparents Herbert and Frances Palmer and brother-in-law Fred Lester.
Lindy leaves behind her loving son, Heath Brower, his wife, Glenda Brower, and her grandchildren Dalton, Khily, and Khiera Brower. Her brother and his wife Walt (Sonny) and Annette Palmer, her sister Debbie Lester, and many nieces and nephews.

My favorite memory of Lindy was sitting near her during the many softball games we attended. Watching her hand out money for seeds and sodas to any youngster who happened by needing something or anything. Love to all her family and close friends who will greatly miss her, as I will...softball season is right around the corner. It just won't be the same.

The world is a little darker yet your legacy lives on--now with a Guardian Angel to call their very own. Sorrow and Condolences to those you leave behind, seems so trite to say but really there are no words to express this loss. Your smile, warmth, and dedication will be forever inscribed on those blessed enough to call you "friend". God Bless.
