Roger T. Lindoo, age 101, of Chippewa Falls, died Monday, November 7, 2016, two days shy of turning 102, at the Chippewa Manor Nursing Home.

He was born November 9, 1914 in Argos, IN to Blanche (Tiffany) and John Lindoo. He grew up in Ladysmith and graduated from Ladysmith High School.

On July 1, 1940, he married Florence Whitmore in Ladysmith. They resided in Ladysmith until 1951, when they moved to Chippewa Falls. In 1969, they moved to their home on Lake Wissota, where they enjoyed canoeing, hiking, cross country skiing, and hosting picnics for friends and family. Both Roger and Florence greatly enjoyed the outdoors. Some of their happiest times were traveling about the United States in their camper, especially to the Great Lakes and western mountains.

As a young man and with help from his brothers and friends, Roger built a family log cabin on the Flambeau River. It was used as a hunting camp for many years, and is still cherished by Roger's family today, who continues to make memories there.

Roger worked as the manager for Production Credit Association, a company that provided agricultural loans. After he moved to the Chippewa Manor apartments, Roger spent many hours volunteering with the Chippewa Manor Activities Department, a service that he greatly enjoyed.

He is survived by three daughters, Jeanne (Bob) Wright, Peggy Lindoo, all of Chippewa Falls, Susan (Mike Wolesky) Lindoo of Newport, MN; grandchildren, Linda (Donald Zans) Wright of Santa Clara, CA, Steve (Penny) Wright of North Oaks, MN; great-grandchildren, Schuyler Zans, Mitchell and Carlye Wright; sisters-in-law, Marie Lindoo and Doris Smith.
