Thomas “Tommy” Jefferson Lindsey, III, 88, of Sidon, Mississippi, died peacefully, October 31, 2026, at his home surrounded by his daughter and sitters.

Tommy was born in Ruleville, on January 13, 1938, to the late Iva Lee Mann Lindsey and Thomas Jefferson Lindsey, Jr. Later his family moved to Sidon, where he attended Sidon Elementary School, then Humphreys High School / Leflore County High School, and later Delta State University before joining the United States Marine Corp.

When he was discharged from service, Tommy married the love of his life Barbara Ann Bradshaw on June 30, 1960. They lived in Greenwood, for the first year of their marriage and then moved to Sidon and started their family. That next year their daughter, Bethany Ann Lindsey Jones, was born. Many years of love and family time followed. During these years Tommy attended Sidon Baptist Church, but later returned to his childhood Methodist roots, the Sidon Methodist Church. He served there faithfully and enjoyed the fellowship with all.
