Linda Carlson Obituary
Linda Ann Carlson (Lewis) of Grand Haven was born on March 29, 1953, and has peacefully left this earth on January 10, 2023.
She was preceded in death by her loving companion and husband, Jon Carlson; daughter, Caesy LeMieux; mother, Arlene Lawrence; father, Jon Lewis; and many other loved ones. She is survived by her son, Gabriel Maniwczak; granddaughters, Morgan Boeve and Brooklyn Maniwczak; great-grandson, Aleks Jon Tyczynski; brothers, Ken (Bonnie) Lewis and Jon Lewis; sisters, Debbie Lewis and Kristy Lewis; and many other loved ones.
Lin graduated from Spring Lake High School in 1971, and attended GVSU for a short while before marrying John Maniwczak, and having Gabe. Later, Lin married Fred LeMieux and had Caesy, and eventually met Jon Carlson and married in 1991 and became active members of Jehovah's Witnesses.
There, they had met so many friends and family. Attending the Kingdom Hall was one of her many passions. She also had a passion for photography, which she pursued for a period of time at Sears Portrait Studio, shooting for weddings, and would often take photos of family and friends.
Lin worked at Magna Donnelly for nearly 30 years and retired in 2017. Lin loved spending time with her dog, Shorty, and her great-grandson, Aleks. She will be remembered by her charisma, her laughter, her smile, humor and energy. She will be so super missed.
A memorial service will be held at the Grand Haven Community Center on Saturday, Jan. 28, from 1-3 p.m.

Cheryl and I worked with Lin many years. We got together with her and her husband Jon, always a good time. Jon showed me how to play the spoons. What a truly beautiful person. RIP Lin. We do take some comfort in knowing that she is reunited with Jon.
