Celebration Of Life

Lendwood H. McElroy, age 67, of Frostproof, Florida, passed away peacefully on May 19, 2025 in Gainesville . He was born in Stuttgart, Germany, and spent much of his life in Frostproof Florida, where he worked as a dedicated citrus worker before retiring.

Lendwood was a man who found joy in the simple things—whether it was a good game of bingo or cherished moments spent with his family. His warm spirit and generous heart left a lasting impact on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

He is lovingly remembered by his children: oldest daughter Vera Simon and her husband Leonard; son Jr and his wife Charity McElroy; and youngest daughter Christy and her husband Elijhawa Edler. He was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren and a doting great-grandfather to five. Lendwood also leaves behind four sisters and three brothers, along with countless friends and extended family.

A celebration of Lendwood’s life will be held on June 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Frostproof Community Center. Family and friends are invited to attend and share in honoring the life of a man whose kindness and laughter will be deeply missed.
