Lindsay Maria Waldron

SHARON — Lindsay Maria Waldron passed away unexpectedly on June 22, 2024, while residing in Sharon.

She was born in Poughkeepsie on Aug. 9, 1982. She was the loving mother of Lily Dolan, and the loving daughter of Garma Belter Waldron and the late David Waldron. She was the loving sister of the late Gared Waldron.

Lindsay grew up in Sharon and attended Sharon Center School, Housatonic Valley Regional High School and went on to receive her Associates Degree in Early Childhood Development from Dean College.

Her love of children began as a camp counselor at Camp Sloane in Lakeville. She was also a former assistant teacher with Extras in Salisbury. Her love for children moved her to compose two children’s books. She later worked at Harney & Sons Fine Teas for six years where she enjoyed her job.

Lindsay loved animals, loved to dance, and share time with family and friends. She was a vibrant gal and had an extraordinarily strong will to overcome many challenges when she was diagnosed with a medical condition 20 years ago. She was a miracle in her mother’s and family’s eyes and hearts.

Lindsay is survived by her mother, Garma Waldron, her daughter, Lily Dolan, her sisters Jennifer Waldron and Patti Lewis both of Savannah, Georgia, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends all of whom she loved greatly. She will be deeply missed.

A memorial service will be held on July 13, at 11:00 a.m. at the Sharon Congregational Church.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Sharon Volunteer Ambulance, PO Box 357, Sharon, CT 06069, and to Little Guild of St. Frances, 285 Sharon-Goshen Turnpike, West Cornwall, CT 06796.

The Kenny Funeral Home has care of arrangements.

For 15 years, Rhinebeck has welcomed Sinterklaas, a Dutch tradition celebrating community and togetherness with giant puppets, elaborate costumes and whimsical holiday cheer. Created by artistic visionary Jeanne Fleming, the event brings light to winter’s darkness.

This year, however, Sinterklaas is on hold as Fleming faces new financial challenges. SUNY New Paltz filmmakers documented what may be the Hudson Valley’s final celebration, at least for now. Their film screens Nov. 1 at Stissing Center as one of seven shorts in the Pine Plains Festival of Short Films.

Superintendent Melony Brady-Shanley led the forums to discuss recent survey results and hear residents’ views as the region examines its kindergarten-through-eighth-grade structure amid declining enrollment and rising costs. No consolidation plan has been adopted, and the study has no predetermined outcome.
