Patricia "Lynn" Scheeringa

Patricia "Lynn" (Thielbar) Scheeringa, age 64, of Griffith, IN, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 13, 2020. Beloved wife of Harold Scheeringa. Loving mother of Stacy (Rick) Hodson and Kevin (Apryle) Scheeringa. Devoted grandmother of Zachary, Sophya and Jasper. Dear sister of George (Romy) Thielbar Jr. and Sandy (Rich) Spry. She was preceded in death by her parents George and Patricia Thielbar Sr.

Lynn was the proud, second generation owner of Tish’s Antiques in Lowell, IN. She was a member of Beacon Light Community Church. She loved Harold, her family, her friends, chocolate, and antiques, but her most favorite thing of all was being grandma and traveling out to see her grandkids with her “magic” suitcase. She loved to talk and laugh and have fun. Lynn poured her heart and soul into every task she undertook. Her passing leaves a hole filled with many wonderful and cherished memories.
