The British-born Lindell served as a member of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) during World War I and subsequently with the Secours aux Blesses, a division of the French Red Cross.

Following the Nazi invasion of France, Lindell worked with various Allied agencies, at considerable risk to herself and family, to help smuggle downed airmen and others to freedom on the "Pat" line (named after "Pat O'Leary, alias of Albert Guerisse).
