Bio

My name is Tammy (Gurley) Lindsey. I have been married to Bryan Lindsey for 29 years, and we have three children and a grandson. All three of our children graduated from Deshler High School. I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, reading, and taking pictures at special events. My husband is one of the assistant cross country coaches, and I also run. I have run 6 marathons (26.2 miles) and 10 half marathons (13.1 miles). I love watching the students compete in Deshler athletics -- especially football, wrestling, and cross country.
