Lindsay Ann Watkins

Lindsay our special angel, was born on November 30, 1983 at Sault Area Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Laurie & Brian were thrilled to be first time parents. Lindsay was raised in the Soo, and relocated for short stays in Manitouwadge, & North Bay as Brian furthered his career. During our stays we made long lasting friendships that continue to this day. As a child, Lindsay had the ability to lift the spirits of family and friends. She was raised to be warm, caring, generous and friendly. She felt that she should treat others the way she expected to be treated. She certainly captured everyone’s attention. She was a bit of a show off, this turned out to be a constant source of entertainment.

      Lindsay's playful good humor carried her through childhood. She was possessed with an outgoing personality, a vivid imagination and enthusiasm for life that allowed her to be constantly on the go. As a result, Lindsay experienced a rather active childhood, whether it was simply playing in the neighborhood or in organized activities. She took part in Softball, Figure Skating and Dancing. She was a Brownie, involved with Teaching Athletic Skills Kamp (TASK) and the YMCA Drama Club. In her spare time she liked reading, arts & crafts, singing & playing her guitar which she was very good at.

      If you asked anyone who knew her they would tell you that Lindsay was a great friend. Lindsay simply enjoyed others’ laughter and the sounds of her friends having a good time. Lindsay was always concerned with helping others who did not seem to have as much as she did. It could be said that for Lindsay, grades may not have been the most important thing to her, but she really did enjoy her time at school. Experience was Lindsay's best teacher, she enjoyed hands-on learning and applying the “practical” approach to knowledge, rather than getting caught up in “theory.” Lindsay graduated from Sir James Dunn in 2001. As like everyone else she enjoyed some courses more than others, especially music this was her favorite class. The teacher she enjoyed learning from the most was Mr. Gough. In elementary school Mr. Vallee, Mr. Grady, and Madame McMenemy were among her favorite teachers.

      Lindsay certainly possessed an outgoing personality. This quality helped Lindsay develop new friendships. Whether it was a story, a joke, a song or just plain fooling around, Lindsay was always right at home putting on a show among her friends. While growing up, some of her best friends were Kristian & Marissa Gaetano, Aaron & Kyle Hutchinson, Adam Alessandrini, Brian & Lorie Urbanczyk, and Trevor & Neal Armstrong. Our neighbors Cliff and Anne Sanderson, and the boys, Brian and Steven joined Jessica & Emily Gair, Lauren Wilson and Emily Greaves, as the people she grew up around. School friends like Christopher Walls, Keith, Stephanie, Rachael, Jasmine, Alexandra, Kerry Anne, Kendra and Leanne were just a few among many. Lindsay loved sharing life and having her home filled with people she knew. Through our Rotary Exchange Student program six different students lived with us for varied periods of time. These included; Alejandro from Colombia, Therese and Claudio both from Switzerland, Tania from the Philippines, Carolina from Brazil and Sophie from Zimbabwe. During these stays Lindsay especially loved having Alex as an older brother. Our other daughter as we refer to Sophie Chandauka, truly became Lindsay's big sister, she is a remarkable woman who has remained in our lives for 26 years and continues to be an integral part of our family.

      While working at Algoma Office Equipment, our family business, Lindsay was a real “people person.” She had a way of dealing effectively with others, through enthusiasm and energy. When dealing with various projects and problems, Lindsay was adaptable, using her common sense and trusting her experience and impulses to succeed. She really was one of our most reliable employees and was with us for 6 years. There was additional pressure brought on by being the owners daughter but she handled it well, she did not expect preferential treatment.

     To be honest Lindsay was never really excited about the actual activities in sports. Even if she wasn’t the best, Lindsay loved to participate, the competition wasn't as important as the pleasure of being around other people. She was a great team member and won awards recognizing this. Coming from an NFL football crazy family Lindsay was also a true sports fan and enjoyed watching her favorite Buffalo Bills with mom and dad glued to the TV. Lindsay attended many live Buffalo games at Rich Stadium and dressed the part. However, the best thing that came out of this was the lifelong friendship that we developed with our marvelous friends, the Urbanczyk family, Kathy, Ron, and their children Lorie and Brian. They introduced us to this sporting life, fantastic food and polkas. They opened their home and hearts to us. We are so very thankful for this.

     Lindsay loved to travel and to visit new and different places. No matter what, water whether it was a beach or a swimming pool seemed to always be involved. She literally would wear the skin off her feet and hands doing underwater aerobics in every hotel swimming pool that she could find. Favorite vacations included camping, numerous trips to Cedar Point, Wonderland, Marineland and countless Zoos. Three trips to Disneyworld, one including her friend Kendra were particularly memorable. During this period of our lives the people we seemed to do the most with would include the Gaetanos, the Urbanczyks , the Armstrongs, the Pipers, the Sandersons, and the Rebellatos. Lindsay's biggest accomplishment was travelling alone to Switzerland and England as a teenager to visit her exchange student sisters Sophie and Therese.

      Lindsay was a lover of animals and cherished her pets, enjoying them as much as she enjoyed being around other people. Lindsay's favorite was Rio, a Yorkie Poo, who she purchased on her own while she was attending Sault College. They were best friends for 15 years, and to be honest she was also a best friend for Laurie and Brian. We all missed Rio terribly. Our pet family was rounded out by her cat Mistie who lived to age 12 and was loved dearly and Casey (a multi breed) dog who we had only for 2 years having to find him a new home due to one of our relocations. For her whole life Lindsay's favorite television shows were always centered around animals and nature.

      Linds was mature, realistic and fully accountable when it came to the directions both good and bad that life took her in. Lindsay brought joy to all of those around her, she did not have a mean bone in her body.The Lindsay we knew loved to have a good time and tried to look on the bright side of things.She loved to share her energy, good humor, and warmth with her friends and family. Lindsay made everyone around her happier just for knowing her. She will always be remembered for her uncontrollable laugh, big heart, and her bright smile.Thank you Thank you Thank you, honey for the wonderful 37 years we had each other, we will miss and love you forever, until we are together again...

Something we would like to share because this is the Lindsay we knew...

You Know They Love You When....

* they save the middle of a cinnamon bun - just for u - cuz they know it's your favorite!

* they don't get mad when you accidentally feed the puppy the best piece of steak

* they give you the very last piece of chocolate - even though you've eaten the majority

* they hide secret surprises in the pizza pocket box - cuz they know you'll find it when looking for a midnight snack!

* they tell you they love you - every single day

* they bring home flowers or your favorite magazine - even though they went for groceries

* they are always there & never give up

you know I can think of so many more reasons...

I really just wanted you both to know:

* I know how much you both love me

* and I notice the many wonderful things you do & it's the little things I love so much - and make me smile

* I appreciate everything you do - not just for me - but for each other too! I have grown up with more love in our home than many people know in a lifetime...

* you've shown me truth and I know you are the only ones who are always there (with the exception of my loving grandparents who also give me such support and love - and my family of extended arms & hugs & warm thoughts & hearts)

But it's always been you first and you've never walked away

I know how much you love me

I hope you know how much I love you too 😊

Just a reminder of how great u are...

❤ Love always xoxo Me 😘

WATKINS, Lindsay Ann - We have lost our special angel.

Laurie and Brian are heartbroken as we announce the sudden and tragic passing of our dear daughter Lindsay. Words cannot describe the emptiness we feel and the pain we are going through.

Lindsay is the granddaughter of David and Marie Watkins, late Betty Andrews, late Donald Andrews and the late Peter Potvin. To Grandma Betty, her idol, who we lost so recently; Lindsay is on her way for you to take care of each other.

Lindsay is the niece of Gary and Marie Lynn Potvin, Patti and Donnie Wierzbicki, God parents Jim and Sue St. Jules and Kevin and Belinda Watkins. She is a loved cousin by Scott (Krystyna), Amy (Bob), Katie, Nicole, Mike (Nicole), Emily (Mike), Joey (Carla), Jamie-Lyn (Rob) and all of their children Ryder, Leela, Ryder, Emma, Peter, Max, Joey, Maggie, Matthew, Jacob and Daniel.

Lindsay will be lovingly remembered by her special Gaetano family, Auntie Sandra, Uncle Randy, "brother and sister" Kristian (Peter) and Marissa (Adam) and their children Ryder, Farrah and Summer. She will be missed and forever loved by her exchange student sister, from a faraway land, our Sophie Chandauka.

Our Lindsay had a heart of gold. She was thoughtful, caring, generous and compassionate. She loved family and friends. She was smart, articulate, amazing at arts and crafts and had a beautiful voice when she sang. If you were real lucky you would experience her one of a kind belly laughs.

We endured this illness, the troubling times and it's consequences together. We always knew that she was in there, and that she loved us dearly. We never gave up on her and she never gave up on us. We needed and counted on each other equally. This was our battle together, our cause. Blame and judgement were not an issue. We would say that we would love her into wellness.

We have a saying that angels, as we describe our Lindsay, have come into our lives on so many occasions and in so many different ways. We cannot begin to express to all of our family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and even strangers how much your support, kind words and encouragement have been appreciated. Lindsay truly knew how much you cared.

Please understand, appreciate their efforts, and realize how difficult it is for anyone working in the environment brought on by this terrible disease, what they do and what they endure. Our Social Services providers are amazing people that assisted in so many ways. Our Police Services are frontline and caring and doing so much more than enforcement in this absolutely terrible era. Our local shelters, agencies and support providers are contributing in countless ways. To Lindsay's Dear Uncle Gary, thank you for your assistance on July 1st, we will never forget that. Thank you so very much to all of you at Sault Area Hospital who assisted in caring for Lindsay and us during "our" search for a way out of this. You are all special and too numerous to mention. We had our team of Paul, Erica, Molly and Dr. Emmalee. We truly gave it our best shot, thank you.

Please visit Arthur Funeral Home website obituaries to leave memories and condolences as a keepsake for the family.

We have been blessed with a loving supportive family. Our parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles, had always been there for Lindsay. In addition, we have had the good fortune of having another family become part of ours. This would be the Gaetanos and Hutchinsons. Kristian and Marissa kindly accepted our request and did us a marvelous favor by preparing a beautiful eulogy for Lindsay.

Kristian: My parents and I met Lindsay on Dec 3 1983, just a couple of hours after Uncle Brian and Auntie Laurie brought her home. I was too young to remember but my parents have shared a number of times of the absolute love, joy and happiness they felt coming from this new family.

In my early years, I was lucky enough to have Lindsay live just a few doors down the street which made for an instant best friend. Growing up, Lindsay was such an important part of our family. We experienced many of our early childhood firsts together with trips, birthday parties, plays, commiserating over our parents endless prank war on each other and spent countless hours together riding bikes and creating imaginary worlds. From a young age, Lindsay’s creativity and imagination made everyday life more exciting. This continued through our teenage and adult years as we often caught up on fun memories of times together, going to camp on the island, adventures to Wonderland and North Bay. One thing we looked forward to each year was spending Christmas Eve together where Lindsay “strongly suggested” we do Karaoke but then refused to give up the microphone all night.

Lindsay was full of heart and loved deeply. She loved her mom and dad, and of course her pup Rio, unconditionally and we know she was so grateful for the unwavering love they returned. Even through some of her most difficult challenges, she always made an effort to reach out and let those around her know how much they mean to her. I feel so lucky to have had her as such an important part of my life.

Marissa: Like my brother, Uncle Brian Auntie Laurie and Lindsay were in my life from the very beginning. I never had a sister. The closest person growing up in our world in that role was Lindsay. Growing up, Lindsay would always keep an eye out for me and would go out of her way to sing to me and tickle my back to help me get to sleep.

One thing that remained since we were little was her love of Disney movies. Some of her favorites were Lady and the Tramp and Bambi… many close to her have probably heard her quote Thumper with one of her main comebacks “If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all". Lindsay has a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. Her wit was sharp and her comebacks quick.

We have so many memories. Good times and sad. Today is heartbreaking for all of us as we have to say goodbye to someone we love deeply, far too soon. Today is a time to remember the love we share for Lindsay and the impact her generosity and love will have on us forever.

As Lindsay's life was met with challenges, we all marveled at the unwavering support and love she was shown every day from her parents. they never once gave up supporting her even though others in a similar circumstances may have.

Uncle Brian and Auntie Laurie please know that we can’t begin to imagine the hurt you are feeling but you can take comfort in knowing how much she loved you.

Kristian: Lindsay was a unique part of an amazingly loved and respected family...everyone who had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Lindsay knew she came from a place of real love. Life will never be the same for all of us. A light has gone out in our world and along with it the warmth, comfort and joy it shone on all of us.

Our Dear Lindsay,

You left us so quickly, we didn't say goodbye. We miss your hugs and giggles but cherish all our memories of you and never forget the fun times together especially out at the point. It was so nice to see you come in with Grandma Betty for coffee time at the Bistro and always remembered that this old Granny liked her cup of tea.

You have the voice of an angel that very few have heard. I'm sure you are in the choir up there with the others singing softly and happy to finally be at peace.

We will always remember the love we hold in our hearts and prayers for you forever.

Granny and Grampa

Our most wonderful memories of Lindsay are related to her expressions of love for Laurie and Brian.

Of all those expressions of love, the one that stands out most, is when we had the honor to work, under Lindsay’s meticulous orchestration, preparing for Laurie and Brian’s 25th wedding anniversary. Her attention to detail, the requirement for everything to be perfect, and the inclusion of so many important people to their family left a lasting impression on our family.

Laurie and Brian, always remember she loved you and the world noticed.

Love

Auntie Mary, Uncle Gary,

Michael and Emily

Dear Lindsay, we will miss you more than words can say. Your lovely smile and beautiful voice will never be forgotten. You were a very special angel and we know your are flying at peace with your grandma Betty. Even though you were with us for a short time our memories will last forever. We will keep you in our hearts and think of you often.

All our love Auntie Sue and Uncle Jim

My little Bo Peep! I will miss you dearly. Our family was blessed with the most unique and special child the world could give to us. Your high spirit, insightfulness, creativity, amazing sense of humor and unconditional love for all, was to be treasured. We loved you more than we could ever say and will treasure our fond memories until we meet again.

All our love Auntie Patti and Uncle Donnie xoxoxo

When we think of Lindsay we always remember her enthusiastic greetings. With her beautiful smile that will stay with us forever.

Our prayers and love always.

Uncle Kev, Belinda, Katie and Nicole

Lindsay Ann Watkins. She came into our life the very day she came home. And she came into our hearts that very same moment. Her time with us was much too short but the love she showed us and shared with us will live on forever in our family...because to us she is family. Her always warm smile and enthusiastic greetings never failed to endear her to us. The hugs were genuine as were her emotional gestures of giving to all of our family. The times spent talking and laughing and yes singing with Kristian and Marissa filled us every time with a happiness and joy we looked so forward to. We will miss you Lindsay so very much but never more that at our Christmas Eve gathering. God watch over you always.

The Gaetanos
