Scotty Lindsey
Homer Wilson (Scotty)
Lindsey passed away at the
age of 75 on Feb. 27, 2020, in
Golden Valley, Ariz., where he
has lived for the last two years.
He was born on Sept. 13, 1944.
From Dec.
31, 1962, to
Dec. 30, 1965,
Scotty served
our country in
the U.S. Army.
Scotty was a
longtime res-
ident of The
Scotty Lindsey
Dalles, Ore.,
and was em-
ployed for 44 years at The
Dalles aluminum plant before
moving to Lyle, Wash., in 1999.
His hobbies and passions
were loving his wife and fam-
ily. He also was into pre-1850
American Indian Culture. Scot-
ty was into napping and mak-
ing handmade knives, bows,
arrows, dream catchers and
everything in-between. He was
his best when hunting, fishing
and playing a round of golf.
Scotty was married to Ilean
Ripplinger Lindsey, whom
he loved for 29 years and
will continue to love as long
as the winds whisper in her
ears. He was a loving father to
Kenn Lindsey, Dan Ripplinger,
Saprina Lindsey Ford, Darla
Lindsey Mckee, and Jeannie
Lindsey Barker. Scotty’s love
did not end at his children but
continued to his 15 grandchil-
dren and seven great-grand-
children.
He is survived by his two
brothers and one sister, Leon-
ard Lindsey, Thomas Lindsey,
and Janice Kellogg, and his
brother and sister-in-law Rob-
ert and Cheryl Ripplinger and
John and Linda Ripplinger.
He was proceeded by his
parents, Clinton and Adele
Lindsey; two sisters, Mavourn-
een Reagan and Linda (Berral)
Miller.
His arms were always full of
love for the numerous neph-
ews and nieces that filled his
life with more joy then we will
ever know.
Spread your wings and fly
with the eagles and continue
to watch over family and many
friends.
A celebration of life will be
held on June 27 from 1-4 p.m.
This will be a potluck held at
Sorosis Park in The Dalles.
Cory Johnston
Dr. Waldo Cory Melrose
Johnston III died in a back-
country skiing accident after
summiting Mount Hood on
Feb. 25, 2020, on his 47th
birthday.
Born in 1973, Cory grew up
in the mountains of Colorado,
where he first
developed
his love of
the outdoors
along w ith
his parents,
Waldo and
Candy, and
Cory Johnston
his older sis-
ter, Crickett. It
was amongst these mantled
peaks that he first learned to
ski.
His family moved to North
Carolina in 1980, where he
developed a passion for other
activities: Hockey with his dad,
tennis with his sister, viola
with his mom. While a student
at Durham Academy, he was
elected president of the se-
nior class, constructed an epic
volcano for the senior prom
with his best friend, Javier,
became North Carolina’s first
All American lacrosse player,
and, despite some aversion for
practicing for the SATs, earned
his acceptance to Yale, where
he played varsity lacrosse and
squeaked across the finish line
in 1995 with a degree in Amer-
ican Studies.
Following graduation, Cory
heeded the call of the West,
where he engaged in a assort-
ment of experiments, includ-
ing waiting tables in San Fran-
cisco, filming documentaries
in Whistler, selling climbing
gear at REI in Salt Lake City,

ever had, but was also hum-
ble and humorous and true
to himself: Kind, patient and
unflappable. He again formed
a close group of friends, “The
Honey Badgers,” with whom he
enjoyed long days out on the
mountains.
Cory then came to Oregon
in 2012 for a two-year hepato-
biliary and pancreatic surgery
fellowship at the Providence
Portland Cancer Center. Here
he was mentored by Drs. Paul
Hansen, Ronald Wolf and Chet
Hammill, as well as his future
wife, Pippa Newell. Pippa and
Cory’s first date was at the
start of Cory’s second year of
fellowship. It was not intended
to be a date, but they had spent
an intense day together in the
operating room, and it was a
balmy midsummer night with
a full moon, and it seemed a
shame not to enjoy it together.
Cory and Pippa moved to
Hood River in 2014, where
Cory started his first and only
job as an MD, as a General Sur-
geon at the Providence Hood
River Memorial Hospital. Here
he earned the trust, love, and
respect of his colleagues and
the Hood River community
through his passion for the
welfare of his patients and his
dedication to his practice.
Cory found immeasurable
happiness with Pippa, raising
their sons, Rocky and Bode. He
was so proud of his boys. He
loved everything about them.
He loved singing funny songs
with them, loved running
alongside them as they learned
to ride bikes. He marveled as
they learned anything new.
The family’s last ski trip, he was
so proud of Bode making his
first turns and of Rocky zipping
through the trees. There was
nothing that made him happi-
er than his family.
As he had done as a young
man, Cory found the wilder-
ness a source of wonder and
immense joy. As mountains
shaped much of Cory’s life,
they also, in a way, understood
by only God and the cosmos,
took it away.
Cory, we love you. Thank
you for the many epic turns.
Services to honor Cory’s life
and mourn his passing were
planned for the weekend of
March 6-8. Go to www.an-
dersonstributecenter.com for
details and to leave a note of
condolence for the family.
Countless people have
reached out to ask what they
can do to support Pippa and
the Johnston/Newell Family.
Education is a high priority for
the family. A 529 Education
Fund for Rocky and Bode has
been set up and donations
can be made at www.gofund-
me.com/f/the-cor y-john-

and painting houses. He and
his friend Johnny loved to
explore the backcountry of
the Wasatch. Eventually, he
joined the ski patrol at Brigh-
ton, where everything changed
one night when he and his
colleagues tried to save the
life of a young skier who had
sustained a mortal injury. He
was profoundly impressed by
the efficiency of the nurse as
she intubated the patient. As
Cory watched the helicopter
transport the patient off the
slope, he realized he wanted to
be there on the other end of the
helicopter ride, to take care of
that skier when she arrived at
the hospital. The very next day,
he called his parents to say that
he was going back to school to
become a doctor.
Discovering an intense focus
that his friends and family had
never seen, Cory complet-
ed premed courses in Utah,
and was accepted to medical
school at the University of
Pittsburgh. There he connected
with his lifelong friends Kia,
Jordan, Toby, Jim and Thomas.
Cory returned to Salt Lake
