Lindsey, age 79 of Brownsville, KY departed this life peacefully, with his wife and children at his side, at the Medical Center in Bowling Green on Saturday, January 26, 2019.  The Edmonson County native was born on July 17, 1939 to the late Iland and Iva Mae Lindsey.  He met the love of his life, Mae Lindsey, when he was just a young boy.  They knew it was love at first sight, later married, and were devoted to each other for sixty-two years.

He later retired as a farmer and carpenter, and volunteered his time at the Senior Center in Brownsville.  He loved his family more than anything, and was the most loving husband, dad, papaw, poppy and brother you could ever have.
