Annetta “Diann” (Bartholomew) Lindsay, age 84, of Kingsville, Missouri, passed away on Monday, March 1, 2026, in Holden, Missouri.
She was born on May 16, 1941, in Des Moines, Iowa, to the late Edgar Bartholomew Sr. and Elsie Marie (Jackson) Bartholomew. In 1966, the family moved from Des Moines to Anderson, Missouri, where Annetta later completed her education and earned her GED. In 1973, she made Kingsville, Missouri her permanent home. Annetta preferred to be known by her middle name, “Diann”, the name she was lovingly called by throughout her life.
On March 28, 1978, Diann married the love of her life, Tommie Eugene Lindsay Sr., in Independence, Missouri. Together they built a life centered on love, faith, and family, raising two sons, Tommie Jr. and Glen, and two daughters, Cheri and Bobbi.
In 1979, Diann and Tommie purchased a farm in Kingsville, where they raised longhorn cattle, chickens, horses, and pigs. She embraced farm life wholeheartedly and especially enjoyed riding horses and caring for the animals. In 1983, they built their family home, later adding a shop in 1990. During the 1990s, Diann worked as a real estate agent. After retirement, she and her husband owned and operated QNR Bargains Thrift Store.
Diann had a creative spirit and found joy in writing poetry and drawing. She was a devoted member of Kingsville Baptist Church, where she faithfully taught Bible Study and Sunday School. Her strong faith, outgoing personality, and generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
She is survived by her son, Tommie Lindsay Jr. and wife Adeline; her daughter, Cheri Lancaster; her nephew, Shawn Lindsay and wife Dana; as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tommie Eugene Lindsay Sr.; her parents, Edward Lindsay and Elsie Lindsay; her son, Glen Helm; and her daughter, Bobbi (Russell) Hambrick.
