Unbearable Loss - Sisters To The End

Oscar W Lindsey > Frank Simeon Lindsey > Fay Evern Lindsey married Marian Lane > Mildred Marie Lindsey and Lillian Lindsey Berry

Fay Lindsey met and married Marian Lane in 1929 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  To their union was born five girls and three boys. They resided in the Benton/Linn County area of Iowa.

All the girls married except for Mildred Marie.  She went by "Marie" for the most part. One day, she, her mother Marian and nephew Larry Berry and sister Lillian Berry were driving near Urbana when a car driven by James Scott crossed the center line and struck Marie's car nearly-head on.

The driver of the car that struck them died. Marie and Lillian also both died in the accident.  Sisters to the end.  No one was wearing seat belts.

After burying her two daughters, Marian recovered from her physical injuries and lived another four years, dying at age 83.
