Our Obituary Policy There is no charge for publishing obituaries in The Republican. This is a service to the residents and former residents of Hendricks County, who are to be remembered for the contributions to their communities.
IS THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE THE LORD’S CHOICE? Once again we approach another holiday celebrated by so many. The Christmas season is the other primary one acknowledged by millions. Some folks only attend services for the two holidays, but neglect to acknowledge the other fifty weeks of the year. God wants his children to assemble on a regular basis as stated in the Hebrew letter when we are told to not forsake the assembly as some do. When we do so our faith is increased, we learn how to please God, worship him as he desires and join with those of common interests. Questions? Visit a Church of Christ near you. Thanks again for reading. (Paid Advertisement)
SCOTT ALLEN VAUGHN, 66, was born on February 25, 1955 to the late Carl and Barbara Vaughn of Brownsburg. He passed away on March 21, 2021. He is survived by siblings Mike Vaughn (Linda) of Steamboat Springs, Colo., Judy Northern (Terry) of Pittsboro, and Tim Vaughn (Christina) of St. Augustine, Fla. Scott began racing go carts at a young age and on any typical Sunday the entire Vaughn family would spend the day at the track. He went on to race SCCA Formula Fords (F-4), a hobby that continued through the early 90’s. A severe crash ended his driving career but not his love of racing. Scott was a proud member of the USMC and served our country during the Vietnam War. His field of expertise in the service was electronics which he later used in civilian life. He was a bio-medical engineer for Community Hospital for more than 20 years and ended his career working for the Dialysis Center of Indiana. Scott was always willing to help a co-worker or friend with any mechanical issues they had with their vehicles. His endless love of all animals never left a stray cat without a home. The fattest squirrels and rabbits in the neighborhood were always in Scott’s backyard. When medical conditions prevented Scott from driving he began walking to a local restaurant, Flap Jacks. It was there that he found an extended family that would call and check on him in the rare event he didn’t show up for breakfast. Scott deeply valued his daytime caregiver, Jackie Chandler, who became part of his extended family. Graveside services took place Wednesday, March 24, at Brownsburg Cemetery, where Scott was buried next to his parents. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Hendricks County Humane Society at www.hendrickshumane.org or Misty Eyes Animal Center at www.mistyeyes.org ___________________________________________________
