JOYCE M. LINDSAY

SPRINGFIELD -- Joyce M. Lindsay, 73, passed away Jan. 22, 2002 in Lincoln. She was born in Lakeville, Sept. 24, 1929, the daughter of Elmer and Hazel (Thibodeau) Coffin.

She was a graduate of Lee Academy, Class of 1947. In the early 50s, she and her husband, Jerry Lindsay, moved to Southern California where they resided for the next 20 years. While in California, Joyce worked in an antique shop at the popular "Knox Berry Farm Theme Park." She even got to meet a few celebrities who would often come into the shop to buy antiques -- John Wayne being one of them. In the early 70s, she and her husband moved back to Maine and settled in Springfield, where they owned and operated "Joyce's Web Antiques" until their retirement. Joyce will be remembered for her laughter, as a caring and loyal friend, who was always ready to give a word of encouragement and support when needed. She loved the outdoors and all the wild "critters" that she befriended and fed daily. She loved her special animal friends, Duncan, Ming and Cindy, who gave her love back and much enjoyment.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Jerry Lindsay of Howland; a daughter, Mary York of North Carolina; a granddaughter, Mandy and her husband, Paul Farrington II of Springfield; a grandson, Justin York of Lewiston; two great-grandchildren, Marianna and John of Springfield; a brother, Alton Coffin of Lee; two sisters, Virginia and her husband William Walker of Zephyrhills, Fla., and Leona and her husband, Jerre Crocker of Lee; many nieces and nephews.

Joyce was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. At her request, there will be no public visitation. Graveside services will be held in the spring at Woodlawn Cemetery, Lee. Arrangements by Clay Funeral Home, Lincoln.
