Pauline Edna Lindsey

Pauline Edna Lindsey, 81, formerly of Island City, died April 2 with loved ones by her side. A service was held April 10 at Loveland Funeral Chapel & Crematory.

She was born in Salmon, Idaho, Aug. 7, 1928, to Joe and Amy Gautier. She attended Idaho State University and substituted as a home ec teacher for several years. She went back to Idaho State and graduated with her clerical degree and worked at several businesses as a secretary.

She married Elton Eugene Lindsey on Nov. 24, 1951, in Long Beach, Calif. She fell in love with him before they had even had a date and told her best friend she was going to marry him. Together they had five children.

When she was younger, she was very active in the sorority Beta Sigma Phi. She also bowled in a league for several years. She made friends wherever she went.

She loved her garden, sewing things for her children and grandchildren and working with her roses. Cooking and huge family dinners were always exciting for her, and she made no-bake oatmeal cookies like no other. The true joys in her life were her children and grandchildren. Being with family was her favorite pastime, and she often had numerous grandchildren at her home. Those who knew her say she had a giving, kind and caring heart.

She is survived by her husband, Elton Eugene Lindsey; son, Randy Lindsey and his wife, Rona; daughters Cindy Wilson and her husband, Mike, Wendy Jorgensen and her husband, Jerry, RoxAnne Flintoff and her husband, Jim; several grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Amy; infant son, Stephen Ray; brothers, Joe and Larry; and her sister, Gingie.
