January 21, 1946    ~    October 15, 2026

Lillian “Tink” Jean Lindsey, age 80, passed away surrounded by her loving family.

Tink was born on January 21, 1946, in Rochester, New Hampshire, to the late Alfred B. Chisholm and Kathleen (Green) Chisholm. She was a graduate of Riley High School in South Bend, Indiana. On December 8, 1973, she married the love of her life, Donald Lee Lindsey, who preceded her in death in 2016.

Tink is survived by her loving children, Joseph (Deann) Toth of Elkhart, Indiana and Dawn (Perry) Hampton of Granger, Indiana; five grandchildren, Kelsey Toth, Jordan Toth, Lindsay Syson, Christopher Syson, and Bryce Hampton; one sister Nancy Whiteman of Plymouth, Indiana; along with many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her loving cat, Trixie.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Donald; her daughter, Kathleen Schuh; three brothers, Robert Page, Larry Holmstrom, and Danny Chisholm; her sister-in-law, Martha; and her brother-in-law, Jim.

Tink considered her greatest accomplishment in life to be her role as a wife, mother, and grandmother. Throughout her working years, she was employed at several companies, including Bendix Corporation, Quality Metal Products, AM General, New Concepts, and Advantage Sales & Marketing. Outside of work, Tink loved to read and could often be found at the library. She especially enjoyed the spring and summer months, spending time outdoors and tending to her yard.

Above all, Tink treasured her family. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart, and she cherished them dearly, considering them one of the greatest gifts of her beloved children. The love she shared with her family will remain a lasting part of her legacy.

Tink will be laid to rest at Bremen Cemetery on Monday, October 26, 2026 at 1:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given to Caring Cove Hospice and/or St. Jude Children Research Hospital.
