Bobbie Ann (Scott) Windhorst

September 22, 1938 – June 18, 2026

     With grateful hearts and deep sadness, we announce the passing of Bobbie Ann (Scott) Windhorst, who peacefully entered her heavenly home on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the age of 87.

     Born on September 22, 1938, in Livingston, Kentucky, Bobbie Ann lived a life marked by faith, kindness, grace, and devotion to her family. She possessed an extraordinary gift for making people feel loved, welcomed, and valued. Her laughter was contagious, her smile lit up every room, and her gentle spirit touched countless lives.

     She was the daughter of the late Charles H. Scott II and Hope (Banks) Scott and was preceded in death by her sisters, Wilma Jean Scott, Ginger Hager, and Barbara Richey, and her brothers, Charles H. “Joe” Scott and Richard “Dickie” Scott.

     Those who knew Bobbie often described her as a living example of the fruit of the Spirit. She embodied love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control throughout her life. Even during life’s most difficult seasons, these qualities never left her.

     Bobbie shared a lifelong love story with her devoted husband, Don Windhorst Sr. Through 67 years of marriage, they built a family rooted in faith, perseverance, and unconditional love. Their marriage was marked by steadfast devotion, and in her final days, she continued to recognize his voice and respond to his loving presence.

     She was a devoted mother to her children, Donnie Windhorst (Michelle) of Simpsonville, Mark Andrew Windhorst of Prospect, Janet Lambert (David) of Goshen, and Sandy Carroll (Mike) of Louisville. She loved each of them uniquely and completely, carrying the hopes, prayers, and concerns that only a mother’s heart can hold.

     One of Bobbie’s greatest joys was her family. She deeply cherished her grandchildren, David Park Lambert Jr. and his wife, Katie Haga Lambert; Jonathan Rautio Lambert and his wife, Abigail Joy Lambert; and Michael Patrick Carroll.

     She was immensely proud of David Park and admired his devotion to family, his kindness, and his quiet willingness to step in when others needed him. She deeply loved Katie and appreciated her warmth, hospitality, and generous spirit. Together, David and Katie were a blessing to her and embodied the faithfulness and love she valued so greatly.

     Jonathan held a particularly special place in her heart. Their bond brought joy and comfort to them both, and the close friendship they shared was one of life’s greatest gifts. She delighted in him, encouraged him, and remained one of his greatest champions. She warmly welcomed Abagail into the family and found tremendous happiness in seeing Jonathan so deeply loved. Their marriage brought her tremendous joy.

     Michael Patrick brought Bobbie great joy as well. She delighted in watching him grow and treasured his unique personality, gifts, and spirit. She loved seeing the next generation of her family flourish and took great pride in the young man he was becoming.

     She is also survived by her sisters, Betsy (Scott) Powell of Port Richey, Florida, and Carol (Scott) Frazier of Campbellsburg; her brothers, Thomas N. Scott (Marilyn) of Sellersburg, Indiana, Terry D. Scott (Mary) of Milton, Brian Keith Scott of Lorton, Virginia, and Kenneth Wayne Scott of Lorton, Virginia; and many dear friends whose lives were enriched by her faith, love, laughter, and gentle spirit.

As one dear friend shared:

“The first thing that comes immediately to my mind is that your momma has been a walking picture of being filled with the fruit of the Spirit. Like her picture should be in the Bible as an example.”

Galatians 5:22–23 tells us:

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”

     Those who knew Bobbie understood exactly what those words meant.

She loved deeply.

She chose joy.

She brought peace into a room.

She was patient.

She was kind.

She was good.

She was faithful.

She was gentle.

She exercised self-control.

Even during life’s hardest seasons, those qualities never left her.

As her friend so beautifully wrote:

“I haven’t known many people in my life who checked all of the boxes. But she certainly did. Many crowns await her in heaven.”

Her laughter will be missed.

Her smile will be remembered.

Her love will live on in the lives of those she touched.

     She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished Mimi, and a faithful friend. More than anything, she made people feel seen, valued, and genuinely loved.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Matthew 25:23
