Pauline B. Lindsey

Pauline B. Lindsey, age 75, of Temple and formerly of Spring Branch, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 9, 2026, surrounded by the love and memories of a life well lived.

Pauline was a woman with a gentle heart, a strong spirit, and a deep love for both people and animals. She spent many years in the beauty industry doing what she loved most — making others feel beautiful, cared for, and welcomed. As the owner of her own nail salon and a devoted cosmetologist, Pauline formed countless friendships throughout her career, touching the lives of so many with her warmth, laughter, and kind soul. She continued doing the work she loved until retiring in 2024.

To know Pauline was to know someone who loved deeply and cared endlessly. Whether it was through a simple conversation, helping hand, or the comfort she gave to those around her, she had a way of making people feel at home. Her love for animals reflected her compassionate nature, and her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Edna Shirleen Williams, and her husband, Luke Lindsey, whom she missed dearly.

Left to cherish her memory are her brothers, John Darrel Williams and wife Christi of Temple, Texas, Terry Dean Williams of Spring Branch, Texas, and Quintin Daniel Smith and wife Andrea of Spring Branch, Texas. Pauline also leaves behind nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, each carrying a piece of her love and legacy with them.

Though her presence will be deeply missed, the love Pauline shared throughout her life will never be forgotten.

A visitation will be held Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with a family meal to follow from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Crotty Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
