She loved cooking, bowling, playing poker, and spending time with her family and friends at the family cabin, but most of all she loved her grandchildren. She could always tell a joke to make others laugh.

Lindsley, her granddaughter Gabrielle Brown, her brothers, Jude Lindsley, David Lindsley, her sister Barbara Orshoski, her nephews, Michael Orshoski, Russell Lindsley and one great-nephew Tyler Zahel.

She is survived by her son Mark Johnson and wife Sheila of Malakoff, Texas; three daughters, Tonja Cooksey  and husband Paul of Norwalk, Ohio, Parrish Davis and husband Cliff of Raeford, and Samantha Smith and husband Neal of Southern Pines; 12 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; two brothers, Louise F. Lindsley Jr. and wife Darla of Rowlett, Texas, and Kevin Lindsley and wife 
Mary Ann of Castalia, Ohio; and her sister, Frances Renee Butler and husband David of Sandusky, Ohio.
She wished to be cremated and to have no services, but to be remembered as she was.
