Her presence in our lives will be sorely missed. Those who knew Lindsey, even just a little, lost a shining light in their lives.

Later on, in life after not working and going on numerous trips to Vanderbilt Hospital and the Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee: Lindsey asked herself a question, how can I work and help people feel better about themselves at the same time? So, she thought about the beauty business and that is how Proctor $ Company came to Life. She stated that she loves making people happy and feeling confident about themselves. It gives her Life and Energy! Her small business was Proctor and Company in which she was creative marketer and CEO. Her products ranged from Eyelashes, Make up, to sun glasses. That was not enough for Lindsey - so she started making customized dominoes for NBA, and NFL Teams, sororities and College Logos.

Lindsey leaves to cherish her precious memories to her loving and intelligent daughter Lydia Stafford; her parents John Calvin Proctor (Lois) Memphis, Tennessee; a brother Marcus Jones USAF (Tonya) , and sister Terrice Coleman (Delvecchio) in Memphis, Tennessee.
