   Captain Colen Richard Lindell, US
Navy (Ret.), died Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at the Charlie Norwood VA
Hospital, Augusta, GA.

Cole, as he was affectionally known,
was born April 9, 1938 in Brimfield, Mass. to the late Axel and Pearl Lindell.
He graduated from The US Naval Academy, Class of 1963,  where he will
be remembered by his naval classmates for his numerous capers. He was also a
member of The Naval Academy wrestling team (his joints hurt him the rest of his
life).

Captain Lindell proudly served his
country in the US Navy for thirty-one years. He was the commanding officer for
the Navy submarine US Nathan Hale. He received too many awards to mention for
his service. After his service to his country, Cole went into a very successful
private consulting business. He also received his MBA from The University of
Utah. His proudest accomplishment was being called father to ten loving
children. He was a wonderful dad to each of them.

In addition to his parents, he was
preceded in death by a beloved daughter, Margaret Marie “Maggie” Lindell; a
brother, Kenneth Lindell; and a sister, Ann Florek.

Survivors include his wife of
forty-one years, Shelley W. Lindell; four daughters, Lesliann McFarland
(Stevie), Ann Michelle Matlock (Michael), Allie Catherine Lindell, and Anne
Marie Lindell; five sons, Michael L. Lindell, Scott Richard, Joseph Todd, Colen
Francis, and William Curry; and six grandchildren.

The family especially wishes to
thank all members of the staff at CCU at the Augusta VA Hospital and the staff
US Renal Care Dialysis Center, University Parkway, Aiken, SC for all their
loving care of Capt. Lindell.

A funeral liturgy will be held at
10AM, Saturday, November 14, 2020 in The George Funeral Chapel with Rev. Fr.
Arokia Raj Mahimai Doss, MSSCC, officiating. The family will receive friends
following the service.

The service will be live-streamed
