Lester Dean Lindsey

Lester Dean Lindsey was born on June 2, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and passed away on November 11, 2026, in Dayton, Ohio.

Lester will be remembered as a very spirited woman whose no-nonsense, straightforward nature made her a steady and guiding presence in the lives of those who knew and loved her. She was the rock of her family, a woman whose strength was matched by the care she gave so freely. A Christian, she was a longtime member of Residence Park Church of Christ, where her faith formed an enduring part of her life.

Her work reflected both dedication and service. Lester ran a daycare for many years, caring for children with the same firm and loving spirit that defined her home. She also worked as a cashier. Beyond her work, she found joy and expression in sewing, where she was known as an excellent seamstress, in painting, and in cooking for her family, sharing not only meals but comfort, tradition, and love around the table.

She leaves to cherish her memory her daughters, Althea Lindsey, Arlean Williams, Debra Dean Howard, LaVerne Lindsey, and Donna Lynn (Bruce) Frazier; her grandchildren, Otilo Lindsey, Gustavo Lindsey, Kenya Jones, Lakeisha Jones, Katrese (Anthony) Dailey, Talina Corvus, Kahlia (Clinton Jessup) Marshall, LaDonna (Juan) Gutierrez, and LaMicka DeVriese; a host of great-grandchildren; her nephews, C. Pierre Rosemond and Michael Vinson; as well as numerous extended family members and friends. In the circle of her family, her love and influence will continue to be felt for generations, carried forward in memory, example, and enduring affection.

She was preceded in death by her father, Edison Rosemond; her mother, Alene (Farris) Wesley; her brother, Curtis William “Uncle Squeaky” Rosemond; her nephew, Curtis “Zipper” Rosemond; her niece, Wanda Reynolds; and her best friend, Mary “Aunt Mary” Lear. Their memories remained part of the story of her life, and now she rests among those who went before her.
