Sandra "Sandy" Lindsley

Sandra “Sandy” Lee (Alsteen) Lindsley, age 85 of Green Bay passed away peacefully on Friday March 13, 2026, after living with Alzheimer’s for several years.

She was born on October 10, 1940, in Green Bay, WI and daughter of the late Irving and Zenaida (Fierst) Alsteen. Sandy married Tom Lindsley on October 22, 1960, at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral. Together they raised three sons Jeff, Tim and Dave and two daughters Julie and Jill. Tom preceded her death in September 2019.

Sandy attended Cathedral Grade School and graduated from St. Joseph Academy. Shortly after Tom and Sandy were married, they started their family having five children in nine years. Sandy was a stay-at-home Mom raising their children until they were in high school. Sandy then found her “career” calling later in life as the Administrative Assistant of the St. Francis Xavior Cathedral Parish for more than 20 years where she nourished wonderful friendships with the pastors, bishops and monsignors of the diocese. Sandy and Tom hosted beautiful dinner parties, especially during the holidays.

Sandy was an avid reader enjoying romance novels and later found joy in her favorite author, James Patterson. Her love for music crossed all generations. Her biggest joy was not only watching sporting events of their own children, but mostly sporting events of their grandchildren. There wasn’t any event they missed. Sandy and Tom traveled to Caymen Islands and Cabo San Lucas for years as well as wintertime in AZ. Lastly, her grand-puppies brought great joy to her life.

Survivors include son Jeff (Jeanne) Lindsley and their children: Casey (Christina Lynn) Lindsley and Molly (Jared) DeChamps; son Jett; Son Tim (Chris) and their children: Jeana, Katie and Tom Lindsley; daughter Julie (Gerri Okinski) Lindsley; daughter Jill Jacques and her son Carson Jacques; son Dave (Cathy) Lindsley and their children: Noah (fiancé Abby Hanmann), Aaron and Lauren Lindsley.

In addition to her parents and husband Tom, Sandy was preceded in death by her sister Diane Churches, brother-in-law Sam Churches and brother-in-law Jim Gevers.
