Mrs. Lindsey was born October 28, 1916 in Dubach to John Claude Green and Mary Addie Beck. She died June 9, 2015 in Ruston. The greatest name above all to mother was her Lord and Savior. Her greatest desire was for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to love the Lord and to live their lives for him. Cooking special after school treats for her grandchildren was a special delight. Elizabeth said “Grandmoma was always there to watch over us and was a great encourager.” Brent said “what a very loving and caring Christain Grandmoma. Scott said “Grandmoma was always there for us. When I really hurt my leg she was a great nurse.” Mother graduated from Charity School of Nursing in Shreveport, LA. during WWII. She said she didn’t want to work in the cotton fields all her life. She wanted to be a nurse and make a difference in peoples lives. She cherished all the many friends she knew. Fellowship Baptist Church held a special place in her heart, and asked that memorials be made to Fellowhip Baptist Church Missions or Youth.
