We are still smiling over this incredible moment! 💜
When NewsChannel 9 showed up at Lindsay’s door to share that she had been named the 2026 CNY Remarkable Woman of the Year, she was doing exactly what she does best — working behind the scenes in sweats, focused on the mission. And yes… she was wearing her cat slippers. 🐾 (If you know Lindsay you know that detail makes the story even more perfect! Or shall we say purrrfect 😻)
Through the Remarkable Women initiative by Nexstar Media Group, Inc., each honoree is awarded $1,000 to donate to a charity of her choice. In true Lindsay fashion, she immediately chose to invest that gift right back into Reflections Memory Cafe.
That $1,000 will go directly toward expanding our programming, increasing caregiver education, and continuing to build a space where individuals and families navigating memory changes feel understood, supported, and connected. The Memory Cafe is about dignity, joy, music, conversation, and community — and Lindsay’s heart for this work is what makes it so special.
We are incredibly proud of her and grateful for the passion and leadership she brings to this mission every single day. Nashville is lucky to have her as she joins 124 other remarkable women from across the country — and we can’t wait to see how she continues to bring inspiration back home to our community.
Please join us in celebrating Lindsay and this well-deserved honor! 💜
