Christy Michelle Lindsey Mitchell, 40, died unexpectedly Friday, September 10, 2020, at her residence in Tupelo. A Tupelo native born on November 29, 1975 to Larry Lindsey and Debbie Gail Posey Robertson, Christy attended Tupelo Public Schools and graduated from Tupelo High, Class of 1998. She first attended the University of Tennessee-Martin and transferred to Itawamba Community College where she completed her A.A. in Respiratory Therapy. A licensed Respiratory Therapist, she lived in Madison, MS many years where she was employed by Baptist Medical Center and St. Dominic’s Health Services, both in Jackson. She returned to Tupelo and ultimately became a “stay at home” mom. A Baptist, Christy enjoyed being on the water and all water sports, traveling and watching her daughter cheer as the “proudest Cheer Mom” of all time. A lover of music, Christy enjoyed country music especially Jason Alldean and Eric Church. She married her husband, Kevin, on August 10, 2020 and, together, they have three children they dearly loved.
