Zoe Ann Lindley, born on March 19, 2008, is the daughter of Steve and Koren Lindley. She has 3 siblings, two brothers, Aiden and Brigham, and one sister, Emmy. Zoe, or “Buggy” to her family, was born in Madison, Wisconsin, moved through Iowa, and ended up back in "a" Madison, but this time, South Dakota. She has several pets: two dogs, Leia and Lucy, three hamsters, Bob, Kevin, and Stewart, and one fish, Lebron.
Zoe stays busy in many activities, including marching band, choir, student council, quiz bowl, spring play, one act, HOSA, ed rising, NHS, and key club. She is also currently employed at Bethel, sharing her caring and joyful personality with all that she meets. She loves to hear the patients' stories and build relationships with them. Zoe stands firm in her faith and lives by the verse Romans 12:21, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
When she gets free time, Zoe loves to spend it immersed in her books or listening to music, especially Noah Kahan or the Hamilton soundtrack. She also recommends a “mental health walk” every so often, to reset your mind and find peace. Her favorite movie, Tangled, can also be used to describe Zoe’s free-spirited personality and love for the outdoors. Her favorite color is pastel blue, and if she had to pick one meal to eat for the rest of her life, “It would definitely be pasta.” If she could live anywhere, it would be on one of the Hawaiian Islands, spending her days soaking up the sun with her books. Science is Zoe’s favorite subject, and she plans to take all she learns and use it for her future goals.
Past graduation, she hopes to go to Augustana to earn her nursing degree. In ten years, Zoe sees herself graduated from college as a specialized pediatric nurse with a loving family. Some advice she shares is “Always be yourself, and let people go who don’t appreciate you”. Zoe hopes to be remembered by the light and love she spreads to others.
