Lindsay Marie Kagy

Lindsay Marie Kagy, 55, passed peacefully Wednesday, May 10, 2017, surrounded by her friends and family at the home of her lifelong friend, Mary Lou and her husband, Lynn Barnes, in Tiffin. Lindsay was born June 3, 1961, in Tiffin, to Robert N. and Mary L. (Wapshall) Kagy. Lindsay is survived by her mother, Mary Kagy of Bloomville, and brother, Mark Kagy of Columbus. Lindsay was preceded in death by her father. Lindsay was a 1979 graduate of Tiffin Columbian High School and a 1985 graduate of Heidelberg College, where she earned a bachelor's degree. She had worked at various places, including Bloomville United Church-Christian, AAA Tiffin Auto Club and the past 15 years at Heidelberg University. While at Heidelberg, she worked in the honors program and then served the faculty who worked at the Pfleiderer Center. She also worked at Center for Academic and Career Support, and most recently in student engagement as an administrative assistant. Lindsay loved yoga, was a certified instructor for years and was co-owner of Gem Yoga and Life Enrichment Studio in downtown Tiffin. She enjoyed traveling and visiting with friends, especially her trips to Palestine and numerous mission trips for which she volunteered. She loved animals, biking, hiking (especially with her beloved dog, Max), music and writing. She was deeply interested in social justice and human rights. Lindsay touched so many through her bright smile, her genuine concern for the welfare of all, and the light of her life touched the dark places in the lives of many. Lindsay battled cancer courageously for a little more than a year. She requested her body be donated to MedCure for cancer research. Her memorial service will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 20, 2017, at Heidelberg's Great Hall with the Rev. Cathy Wirth and the Rev. Paul Stark officiating. A potluck luncheon will follow. Memorial contributions may be made to Project Peace in care of Sister Paulette Schroeder, Sisters of St. Francis, Tiffin. Traunero Funeral Home and Crematory, 214 S.
