A Memorial Service will be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church located at 2000 Stover Street, Fort Collins, Colo., 80525 on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. A Celebration of Life for all family and friends will follow the service at the family home. Ginny led a vibrant, happy life until her unexpected passing. She and Joe travelled extensively and had just returned from a family celebration in Illinois where they saw many of their kids and grandkids. Just two weeks prior they had finished a long road trip visiting many dear friends around the state of California. Ginny was born in Denver, Colorado to Chauncey and Mary (Macartney) Kerr. She graduated from George Washington High School in 1965. She attended Christian College in Columbia, Mo., as well as the University of Colorado at Boulder. She spent summers in San Francisco and in Hawaii before moving back to Denver. She worked at Standard Oil, her dad’s Overhead Door Company, and United Bank where she met Joe Lindsley. On July 10, 1971, she married Joe. Over the course of their marriage, they raised six kids and lived happily in the following communities: Denver, Stillwater, Okla., Billings, Mont., Plymouth and Duluth, Minn., Sarasota, Fla., and Fort Collins. Ginny was a world traveler, yogi, avid reader, Episcopalian, Mah Jongg maven, golfer, and triathlete, among other things. The focus of her life above all else was to be a loving and supportive wife, mother, and grandmother in which she succeeded beyond measure. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Ginny’s memory to Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains or the Rocky Mountain Rett Association who she has supported over the past few years. They are close to finding a cure for Rett Syndrome.
