On November 13, 1943, Joy Fay Lindsey was born in Sikes, Louisiana, to the union of Louie A. Lindsey and Tressie A. Crain Lindsey. She grew up with three brothers and three sisters. Being next to the oldest, she had plenty experience taking care of her younger brothers and sisters and dreamed of one day being married and having children of her own. Her dream came true.
On May 27, 1962, she married the love of her life and sweetheart, David Lamar Goodwin. With her arms wide open, her family circle grew to include her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Harvey and Maggie Goodwin. She became sister to Maybelle, Louis, R.J. "Red", Robert, Charles "June Bug", Harvey "Poochie", and Richard, and she became Aunt Fay to all the "Goodwin" nieces and nephews.
She was known for her devoted love for her family, her love for God and Church, and her old-fashioned "come on in and make yourself at home" hospitality. Wherever she went, she made it feel like home with her unconditional love and warm comfort. In her circle of love, there was always room for one more. She was wife and sweetheart to David Lamar; mama to Donna, Pam and David Joel; mawmaw to a few, Sis. Fay or Mrs. Joy to some, but a friend to all. She loved.
