She was born on June 9, 1929, the daughter of Chris Teutschmann and Lydia (Ubersox) Teutschmann. Mary grew up in Shullsburg, WI where she attended school. After graduating from high school, she was united in marriage to Donald Lindsay on May 19, 1948, in Shullsburg. Following their marriage, Mary and Donald started their family in rural Shullsburg where they began farming at the Lindsay home farm, later moving to Darlington where they lived and worked for many years. Mary worked at Dicks Supermarket in the Deli for many years making friendships that lasted a lifetime.
Mary is survived by her children: Gerald (Judy) Lindsay, Jane (Dan) O’Brien, Betsy (Tom) Ellefson, Dianne (Al) Black, John Lindsay, Laurie (Tim) Taylor, and Suzanne (Jeff) Riley all of Darlington; her 19 grandchildren; her 41 great-grandchildren; her brother Frank (Margaret) Teutschmann of Shullsburg; and her many nieces and nephews.

Mary had many hobbies. She enjoyed gardening, traveling all over the United States, and traveling to Switzerland and Hawaii. Mary was a great seamstress and was able to fix up any dress. Though she lived in Darlington, she kept Shullsburg near and dear to her heart.
