Mrs. Lindsey was born Sept. 1, 1916, in Osceola, Iowa, to Samuel Chester Hall and Bessie Mae (Switzer) Hall.
The family moved several times because her father was an electrician with Iowa Southern Utilities.
Mrs. Lindsey received her primary education in Laramor, Iowa, and secondary education in Creston, Iowa. She completed studies at a regional college in Creston and became a teacher. She taught primary grades at a small rural school near Laramor in the 1930s, where she met her future husband, Donald C. Geis, who was working on a nearby farm.
He moved with family members to Wyoming, where they ranched near Gillette in the Powder River Basin. In 1938, she moved to Gillette and they were married.
In the early days of World war II, the couple moved to Southern California, where Mr. Geis worked in the defense industry. They lived in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles. They had two sons.
In July 1963, the family moved to Pico Rivera, an eastside suburb of Los Angeles. Mr. Geis died on March 12, 1962.
In the summer of 1964, she and her sons visited relatives in Gillette, where she met Archie W. Lindsey, a local businessman whose first wife had died two years earlier. She and Mr. Lindsey were married in November 1964 at St. Matthew's Church in Gillette.
They lived in Gillette, spending many summer weekends in Story at a mountain cabin and at Lake DeSmet, where they enjoyed boating and trout fishing.
In 1974, the couple bought a home in Washington, Utah, and until the 1990s, they divided their time between Story in the summers and Washington in the winters. In recent years, they lived year round in Washington.
