Lindsey was the sister of Carole Littleton, and was the aunt of Claire. After Claire and Carole were involved in a car accident, Carole was thrown through the windshield and suffered severe head trauma which landed her in a coma. When Lindsey came to visit, she scolded Claire for heading home to take a shower while Carole was still in surgery. The two met with Dr. Woodruff who gave his medical opinion on Carole and that he did not have confidence that she would ever wake up. When Lindsey mentioned that they could not afford her medical treatment, they were informed that it had been taken care of by an individual who wished to be kept confidential.
