(#BarbaraDavidson / #LosAngelesTimes) By #NICOLE_SANTA_CRUZ STAFF WRITER #VickyDeniseLindsey had a saying: #GetInvolvedByChoiceNotByForce. Lindsey lived by her own mantra. Even before her 19-year-old son, Lionel E.L. Whiteside Jr., was killed in November 1995 after attending a high school football game, she was involved in anti-violence efforts in her Compton neighborhood. Over the years, Lindsey could be seen at candlelight vigils, crime scenes or huddled with support groups, offering solace to bereaved mothers of homicide victims. Lindsey also became a respected advocate for survivors of violence, often working to connect families to resources while educating the community about the toll a homicide can take on a mother. “She was an advocate for victims no matter what the circumstances were,” said #BenTacoOwens, a longtime gang intervention worker. Lindsey, 62, died at #TorranceMemorialHospital on Aug. 2 after a prolonged battle with breast cancer, said longtime friend and #ComptonActivist #PamelaCarolina. Lindsey had also contracted #COVID19. Lindsey is survived by her son, Lijuan Stephens and his wife DeNika, grandchildren Lijuan Stephens Jr. and Lionel Whiteside III, and siblings Deborah and Edward Lindsey. #ACRAWLB4UWALK #A_BobbyBuck_Promo #The_BobbyBuck_Show_Live #The_BobbyBuck_Show_Podcast #2020_Healing_N_Building Contact: 888.406.2876 https://www.BobbyBuck.com Email: [email protected] Thanks For Supporting!! https://linktr.ee/a_bobbybuck_promo (at Compton California 90220 United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CELwGMWHIWh/?igshid=18qrcd8tm6nc1
