Lindsay was born on March 15, 1983, the daughter of Douglas Minns and the late Shirley (Jones) Minns. She was a 2001 graduate of Marcus Whitman High School and went on to become a registered nurse. She ultimately earned her Masters Degree, becoming a Nurse Practitioner—an accomplishment she took a great deal of pride in. Lindsay touched a lot of lives at the bedside during her career, with her vast knowledge, passion and dedication to her patients.
By far Lindsay’s biggest accomplishment and source of pride were her three daughters. She loved those girls with every fiber of her being, always with their best interest at heart. She showed them what it means to have true grit and determination, never backing down from a challenge. Despite her personal struggles, the girls remained enamored with her and proud to have her as their mom.
Lindsay is survived by her three daughters, Avery, Gracyn and Kennedy Craft; the father of her children, Robert Craft; her father, Douglas (Julie Henderson) Minns; brother, Thomas (Caitlyn McHale) Minns; sisters, Susan (Peter) Pulver and Elizabeth (Donald) Jensen; paternal grandmother, Donna Minns as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Lindsay was predeceased by her mother, Shirley Jones Minns; and grandparents James Minns, Thomas Jones and Norma Jones.
