A graduate of Union High School, Lindsey continued her education at Tulsa Junior College.
Lindsey was born on September 23, 1984, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Rick Couri and the late Teresa Jean (Lacy) Couri. Throughout her career, she worked with Union Public Schools in their extended day program. There she found her true calling working with children, particularly those with special needs.

Family was the cornerstone of Lindsey's life. She never missed a chance to brag about her brother, sister, and nieces, Hayden and Hannah. Her love knew no bounds, often sending surprise gifts to her nieces. She also loved buying birthday and Christmas presents for her family.
A celebration of life honoring Lindsey will be held 2 PM Tuesday, December 30, 2025 at Faith United Methodist Church. The interment will be a private service at Memorial Park Cemetery.
