Lowell Scutchfield

Lowell Grey Scutchfield of Toto Indiana passed away peacefully at his home, with his daughter Christina by his side, at 9:05 am on Friday the 26th day of July 2024. Often referred to as the “mayor of Toto”, his life had come full circle when he crossed over that morning, having been born on that very property he so loved and departed from on his journey to his forever home in the sky with god in his heart. Lowell was born to Art & Mary (Coldiron) Scutchfield on February 16, 1944 in a little house just off the road in a little village called Toto. And there he grew up surrounded by his brothers and a sister and many lifelong friends from the area. He grew up climbing trees and playing cowboy. His favorite foods were Appalachian classics like a great pot of beans with Grandma Toto’s famous cornbread sticks and a nice cold one on the side. He loved to talk about his memories of having grown up where he did, and had many beautiful stories to share with anyone who he knew would appreciate and understand how special of a life he had in his beloved little Toto. Lowell originally worked for Ford Motor Co. in Illinois before embarking on his journey in 1966. With his wife Karen (Prochaska) and their baby girl Christina by his side, He left for Southern California. There he spent 30 years building his career in the aerospace industry with such companies as McDonnell Douglas, Hughes Aircraft and Ford Aerospace. With those companies he traveled to places like the middle east and asia as a Satellite technician and crew leader. He worked on many space satellite installation projects in places like Cape Canaveral in Florida. As much as he loved those jobs, he also loved working on the beautiful Toto Land and Cattle Co.Ranch in San Gregorio that his older brother Donnie established. He later returned to Indiana to look after his parents Art and Mary Scutchfield and to become reacquainted with his roots. He was happy to come back home to country life, where he could be the little kid from Toto that he always wanted to stay. He is survived by his only child and daughter Christina Marie Scutchfield and his little sister Susan (James) Long of North Judson. As well, he is survived by 3 sisters- in- law, Alexia (Sis) (James) Scutchfield, Kathleen (Donnie) Scutchfield and Judy (Dusty) Scutchfield. As well, 3 nephews, 4 nieces, 14 great nieces & nephews AND 5 great great nieces and nephews! The Scutchfield name will live on for some time! Lowell Grey is also survived by countless and much loved cousins and great friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Art & Mary Scutchfield, brothers James, Donnie and Dusty and nephew Jesse Lee. Lowell will be deeply missed. His beautiful star will shine as bright as his lovely blue eyes for eternity. The heavens just got quite a bit more interesting and charismatic. Military Graveside Services will be held 12 Noon Saturday August 17, 2024 at Highland Cemetery, North Judson, Indiana.
