OBITUARY: Margaret "Maggie" Elizabeth Lindley Passes Away
Margaret 'Maggi' Elizabeth Lindley, widow of rodeo clown, contestant, and movie actor, Louis Lindley, famously known as 'Slim Pickens,' passed away March 21, 2011 in Sonora, California, five days shy of her 90th birthday. She incurred a broken hip in December and never recovered from it. Maggi, a native Californian, was born March 26, 1921. She met Slim at the Madera County Fair while she was galloping a horse on the race track. The funnyman stepped out on the track, and in trying to avoid hitting him, she almost had a wreck. Maggi was quite angry with him for that antic, but in time she obviously changed her mind. They were married on March 22, 1950 in Quartzite, AZ, and lived a long happy life until Slim died of cancer, December 8, 1983. Their final home was in Columbia, California. There will not be a service until summer when all of her family can be present and 'there will be blue skies and sunny days'.
Margaret was married to Robert MacKenzie Hind (1917–1992) in 1940. He worked for a dry cleaner business in Los Angeles.
