Everett Lint

Everett D. Lint, 71, of Lansing, formerly of Ely, died Sunday, July 11, 2010 at his home after a long, courageous battle with cancer.
There will be no services, but a celebration of life will be planned for a later date.

He was born June 6, 1939 in Shellsburg to Earl and Beulah Greenwood Lint. February 2, 1963 he married Margaret (Peggy) Alene Tow in Marion. Everett served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era. He farmed for years in Linn County and was employed by the Postal Service for many years before retiring in 2001. He and Peggy then moved to Lansing, where Everett built a log home and fished the Mississippi river dry.
Everett was an avid fisherman and loved all forms of wildlife. Among his family, he was known as a world class fishing and river guide. He will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him, particularly his family, who lovingly knew him as ‘Papa’.
Survivors include his wife, Peggy, of Lansing; his children, Tammy (Ron) of Ely, Jessica (Marty) of Solon, and Jodie (Terry) of Lansing; his grandchildren, Nicole, Hallie, Katelyn and Cash; and a sister, Kathryn (Charles) Vanderpool of Michigan. He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers.
The Thornburg-DeVries Funeral Home of Lansing was in charge of arrangements.
