Claremore

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident. Psalm 27:1-3

Billy H. Lindsey affectionately known as “Grandpa & PaPa” was born to Ida and Herman Lindsey on the levy in New Madrid, Missouri on September 27, 1930. He was raised in East Prairie, Missouri, alongside his two brothers and six sisters. He was a loving husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, and respected member of the community. He fought a good fight until he peacefully passed away on March 17, 2024, at the young age of ninety-three (93).
