Mildred Cain Lindsay passed away on March 12, 2019.
She was born on April 12, 1924, to Dodd and Pearl Cain. After graduating from Sallis High School, she married Percy Guyton Lindsay, and they made Kosciusko, Mississippi, their home after his service in the military.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Guyton, and daughter, Donna Edens Beckam. She is also preceded in death by her parents, brothers Alonzo, Jasper, Troy, Leonard, Ethel, her sisters Maude, Della, Mary Grace.
She is survived by her son, Bobby Lindsay (Betty); sister, Sarah Cain Pilgrim (Jim); grandsons, Chris Edens (Jennifer), Dodd Lindsay (Amy) and Ryan Lindsay (Sissy); and granddaughter, Molly Edens. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Guyton, Shelby, Ethan, Dan, Lauren, Will, Riley, Tristen, Sebastian, Taryn.
Mildred had been a member of Williamsville Baptist Church since 1943, where she was actively involved as a dedicated Sunday School teacher, pianist and founder of Williamsville’s first Vacation Bible School. She and her sister-in-law, LaNelle Lindsay Hall would drive a pick-up truck all over the surrounding area and bring the children to Bible school where they tirelessly taught. As those children grew up, she taught them in an adult Sunday School Class in later years.
We would like to say “thank you” to Atwood Personal Care Home, Lexington Manor, and Baptist Hospice for the excellent care given to her these last few years.
Funeral services were Thursday at Culpepper Funeral Home. Interment was in Parkway Cemetery.
Pall Bearers were her grandsons, Chris Edens, Dodd Lindsay and Ryan Lindsay, her great-grandsons, Ethan Lindsay and Dan Lindsay, and nephews, Duff Lindsay, Telford Lindsay, and Steven Pilgrim.
