Bobby was born on October 25, 1934 in Darden, TN to the late Grady and Ellis Lindsey. Prior to retirement, Bobby enjoyed a 30+ year career at American Olean Tile Co. He also was active in residential construction and built numerous homes in Jackson. Many of the home buyers became life long friends. He loved people and social gatherings, whether it was his regular coffee group or his Sunday school class, both of which brought him great enjoyment. He was a wonderful father and husband.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret D. Lindsey; brother, Bill Lindsey; and sisters, LaRue Dorris and June McDaniel.
He is survived by his wife, Sarah M. Lindsey; sons, Scott Lindsey (Melanee) and Bob Lindsey, Jr.; grandson, Brandon Lindsey; sister, Joyce Holland (W.S.); and numerous nieces and nephews.
