Racine – Lyndell C. Hayes, 92, received the promise of eternal life on October 9, 2020.  He was born in Florence, Alabama, on December 28, 1927, son of the late Lonnie and Lillian Grace (Née: Beard) Hayes.

Lyndell was united in marriage to the love of his life, the former Virginia Vaughn, on September 10, 1954, in Kaiser, Arkansas.

Lyndell and Virginia moved to Wisconsin in 1959.  They have been long time members of Immanuel Baptist Church in Racine.  Lyndell was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan.  His grandchildren would testify that he could tell a story like no one else.  Lyndell was a true family man and loved his family tremendously and will be dearly missed.
