Jean Frances Lindsley

She will always be remembered as the loving wife, mother, and grandmother she was. As selfishly as we all wish she was still here on Earth with us, we also rejoice in knowing she is with God in her heavenly home and back with the love of her life, her late husband Bill. She is healed and dancing, laughing and holding all the babies like her vibrant self always loved to do. We all will hold on to the beautiful memories we made with her. She loved hard and was so feisty!

She put family first, even waiting to go to work after her kids were grown so she could stay at home with them and raise them. Once she started working, she worked her entire career for Hallmark even managing her own store. She loved everything Hallmark, even the movies on the Hallmark channel. She took off every summer to get her grandchildren for a few weeks, Christmas was her favorite and she made it so special for everyone. Her and Bill’s house was the place to be and everyone was welcome. She spoiled all the kids even after they were adults, cause we were all her babies!

She was preceded in death by her one and only love of her life, Bill; her parents, Gene Hill and Louise Hill; and her brother, Jimmy Hill (Jeannie).
