David Lindsay Frame, age 74, died peacefully on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 in Jefferson Georgia.
Lindsay was born April 23, 1950 in Glasgow, Scotland to David and Margaret “Peggy” Frame and was a graduate of Allan Glen’s school in 1967. He later attended New College at the University of Edinburgh where he met Jane Ellen Ammerman. Jane and Lindsay married on March 30th, 1974. Lindsay graduated from New College with a Degree in Theology in 1978.
Lindsay moved with his family to the United States in 1979. He fully embraced life in the United States, becoming a citizen, embracing the Cleveland Guardians (Indians), and observing with gusto the food centered United States holiday Thanksgiving. Yet, he never lost his Scottish accent, and nothing could take the Scot out of him.
Lindsay was well known for his quick wit and snarky sense of humor. More often than not, he was the funniest person in the room. If he wasn’t watching sports on TV, he was watching cooking shows and old movies. He was passionate about really good food. He loved to travel, especially to warm places, and made many new friends on cruises. He was a card “shark”, able to count up the points in a bridge hand by the end of the first round of play. His favorite pastime was playing golf. Lindsay was a loyal supporter of Glasgow Celtic and Manchester United, but watching both the Cleveland Indians (Guardians) and the Cleveland Browns play was his obsession.
Lindsay honorably retired after serving Presbyterian Church USA on all levels of the church for almost 40 years. However, his deepest commitment was always to congregations whom he served with energy, intelligence, imagination and love including the Seville Presbyterian Church (Seville, Ohio) , Keystone Presbyterian (Odessa, Florida) and Highland Presbyterian (Largo, Florida). Surviving in addition to his wife Jane of Jefferson, Georgia, are his daughter, Sarah Sloat ( “Spike” Howard Sloat III) of Jefferson, Georgia; son-in law Brian White of Tampa, Florida; and; 5 grandchildren, Kara Stevens (17), Fia White (14) , Luna White (12), Evelyn Sloat (9) and Sofia Sloat (6).
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Ruth (Ruthie) White and his parents.
Services will be held Thursday, April 3rd at 3:00pm at Highlands Senior Living, 50 Sumner Way, in Jefferson, Georgia. Burial will be held at Elmwood Cemetery in Lorain, Ohio at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Seville Presbyterian Church, PO Box 63, Seville, OH 44272 or to Family Hospice, 624 S Milledge Ave Ste 101, Athens, GA 30605.
