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.

Finding my footing: adventures in a new home

On a cloudy Wednesday at the start of October, my girlfriend, Taylor, and I decided to enjoy the autumn afternoon by getting off our laptops and into the woods for some much needed movement. Having just moved to Norfolk as a new reporter for the Lakeville Journal, I was on the hunt for panoramic views of the landscape I now call home, accessible with the hour and a half of daylight left to us. Haystack Tower it was.

I’m not entirely unfamiliar with the landscapes of the Northwest Corner: I visited family and friends in the region as a child and would drive up on high school joyrides from my home in Westchester County. But calling somewhere home brings new meaning to a place, and I was eager to see a familiar view with a new sense of belonging.
