Lindsay Anne Gragowski

Lindsay Anne was born on December 9, 1976, to John and Alene Gragowski in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. Lindsay, in forty years squeezed in a lot of living. She was a remarkable young lady whose life was far too short. During her youth she lived in Germany and Italy and traveled to France, England and the Netherlands. While there she attended schools for military dependants always excelling academically. In the United States she lived in Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana and Kansas. In American public schools she also excelled going from Kindergarten through High School while always being on the Honor Roll. Lindsay was active physically, earning a black belt in karate with a round house kick that was exceptionally fast. At 14, she was stricken with Arthritis and that curtailed her greater physical activities but did not stop them. When her hands became so weak that she was losing function in them she took up serious drawing and began a love for playing video games. Her art was nothing but dramatic. She could free hand draw a ninja turtle that could have easily been used on their cartoons. Later she branched out into super heroes and began to develop her pictures’ anatomies through a physician’s practiced eyes. She was a collector of super hero comic books and also their action figures. Her home is decorated with thousands of small to large figures, pictures, swords and other action figure knick-knacks. Going through medical school was the crowning achievement in Lindsay’s life. In third grade she proudly told her parents that she wanted to be a doctor and that is exactly what she set out to do. Texas Tech was a great choice for her where the doctors and nurses supported her when it became a bit physically challenging. When she finished medical school they would not let her leave, keeping her on staff in the Physicians Pavilion. When walking sometimes became difficult, the staff would wheel her around in a wheel chair even going so far as to take her to her car. Lindsay truly loved her work at UMC and enjoyed doing things for everyone there, as well as helping anyone in need. Knowing that she had been blessed by the Lord, Lindsay was generous with her money, time and assistance. We will miss her greatly.Survivors include her parents, John and Alene Gragowski; brother, John F.
