She attended the University of Wisconsin - Platteville where she received her bachelor's degree in business in 2002. Following her graduation, Lindsay began working for Camacho Funeral home in Darlington as the HR Specialist. Throughout her time spent there she developed a strong relationship with Diego Camacho and has kept his guidance and support close to her heart and mind. She was currently employed and supported by Wisconsin Whey Protein in Darlington.In 2008, Lindsay met the love of her life, Ed Savage. Ed would often swing by Red Robin where Lindsay worked just to say hello. Lindsay moved to Arizona with a friend. On January 2, 2012, she gave birth to her daughter Emmalyn and on August 28, 2014 she had her second child, Tommy. Her children were the most important part of her life and she always made sure they knew that.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents: Fritz (Judy) Nyffenegger and Joe (Dorothy) Baxter; her maternal grandfather: Thomas Whalen; her mother-in-law: Cheryl Thalmann; and a very special aunt: Vi Brechler. Lindsay was a social butterfly - cherishing every moment she could with her family and friends. She could always be seen drinking anything with an umbrella - a lot of the time with her special friends at Salathe's Saloon in Darlington. Lindsay will be remembered for a lot of things, but her determination and continuous positive attitude are two of the things she made sure she never lost. Life was not always easy, but Lindsay always made the best of it, always making people smile and laugh even on her hardest days. Emmalyn and Tommy were her entire life. She spent every possible moment with them making sure they knew exactly how much she loved them and how proud she was of them. Her family and her friends will miss her terribly, but her memory will live on in them forever.
