Veryl Gloria Moore was born November 15, 1931 in Spokane, Washington. Her parents lived near Priest Lake, Idaho at the time. Because of possible snow storms, Iris and Jack Moore rode a sleigh out to a road, then transferred to an automobile to drive to Spokane until her birth day.

Later Veryl worked as a Registered Nurse in Junction City, Kansas. Don received army orders to report to Japan. During that time, Veryl lived in a trailer house and worked at the Boundary Community Hospital. Veryl worked from 1954 to the 1980s.

Veryl and Don Lindsay raised two children: Shellye Dawn (1956) and Scot Shawn (1958) making sure their first name spellings were unique.
