After a short time as snowbirds, the Tindalls settled at Palm Hill Country Club in Largo, FL to enjoy their retirement years. While in Florida, Mrs. Tindall forged many friendships and frequently volunteered her time both at Palm Hill and with Suncoast Hospice. Her Florida home became a popular vacation destination for family and friends over the years.
