Sherry accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at an early age and was baptized at Progressive Baptist Church by the late Reverend R. D. Thomas. She remained faithful to the call of Christ. As an adult, she continued her ministry through the Living Word Church of Houma, LA for 18 years, and also supported the ministry of her husband, Rev. Roy M. Lindsey, the founder and Shepherd of Mercy Ministries and the Church of Houma. When Sister Lindsey and her family relocated back to Baton Rouge, she continued to fervently teach and preach the Word of God.

"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."-1 Thessalonians 4
I am so sorry that I could not be with the family but my prayers and love for all of you are always present.
