The Summerville community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Kimberley Lindsey, a beloved resident whose life was tragically cut short after she was found deceased at a local waste transfer station in Chattooga County, Georgia. Authorities believe her death occurred after an accidental incident related to dumpster diving, an activity Kimberley was known to enjoy as part of her passion for finding and restoring discarded treasures.
Kimberley’s passing has left her family, friends, and neighbors deeply saddened. She was known throughout Summerville for her warm heart, friendly nature, and unique spirit. Those who knew her best say she saw beauty and purpose where others might not — whether it was through rescuing lost items or helping people in need. Her kindness, creativity, and humor left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
Sheriff Mark Schrader and Chief Deputy Kevin Woods expressed their sorrow over the loss, saying that their hearts go out to Kimberley’s family during this devastating time. “This was not the outcome we were hoping for,” said Sheriff Schrader. “Our community mourns alongside her loved ones.”
Kimberley will be remembered for her joyful laughter, her compassion for others, and her ability to bring light to even the simplest moments. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her and the community she touched with her gentle soul.
Funeral arrangements and memorial service details for Kimberley Lindsey will be announced by her family at a later date.
