Jerry A. Lindsey

W ith heavy hearts, we announce the death of Jerry Lindsey (Portageville, MO) born in Cairo, IL who passed away on January 12, 2021 at the age of 67.

H e was loved and cherished by many, including his wife of 47 years, Barbara; daughter, Amanda (Brandon); grandchildren; Jocelyn, Asher and Cameron; his brothers, Tillman (Susie) and Michael (Angie), brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend to many.

P receded in death by his parents, Tillman & Myrtle Lindsey (Cairo, IL).

O n December 22, 1973 he married the love of his life, Barbara in Mounds, IL.  He soon graduated college and started his 31year career as an educator, spending most of those years in the Portageville School District.  In 1995, he surrendered to the call of ministry and became a bi-vocational pastor at the First Southern Baptist Church in Tallapoosa where he spent 23 years serving the Lord.  He has been interim pastor at several churches and recently became the pastor at the Boekerton Baptist Church.  He was employed by Family Facets for 7 years and was able to help preserve and unify families together.

H e was passionate about helping others.  Much of his spare time was spent serving at local food banks and helping families in need.  He enjoyed spending time with the youth at Tally and helping

establish the "Chosen Generation" youth group.  His first love was God, but he truly loved his family.  He was seldom seen without his best friend and life companion, Barbie.  He adored his daughter and cherished his grandchildren.  He took many trips with them and spent many weekends being their #1 fan on the sports fields.  He was the best Pappy ever! He loved them unconditionally, as he did us all.
