Linda Manis Obituary
Jul 14, 1954 - Jan 19, 2026
Linda Kritz Manis, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on January 19, 2026, at her home in Oswego, Illinois. Born on July 14, 1954, in Whiting, Indiana, Linda's vibrant spirit and kind heart touched the lives of everyone she met. Linda was the cherished daughter of Joseph and Doris (nee Koskell) Kritz, who preceded her in death along with her beloved grandparents, Sylvia and Bill Matteson. She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Jeff Manis, with whom she shared a beautiful life filled with love and laughter.
She is survived by her three children: John Manis, Karalee Manis, and Lauren (Ben) Moon and her grandchildren: Benjamin Moon, Matthew Moon, Madelynn Moon, Emma Moon, Micah Moon, Mason Manis, and Madison Manis, who were a constant source of pride and joy for her. In addition to her immediate family, Linda is also survived by her siblings: Joellen Hein, Joseph Kritz, Cindy Kruis, and Jeff Kritz. When she wasn't busy with family or work, Linda had a passion for crafts and photography, capturing the essence of life's precious moments through her lens. She found joy in the simple pleasures, including her love for Hallmark movies, which brought warmth and comfort to her heart.
A gathering of family and friends was held on Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM with a prayer service at 3:30 PM at DUNN FAMILY FUNERAL HOME with CREMATORY 1801 S. Douglas Road, Oswego, IL 60543. For information, 630-554-3888 or visit her memorial page at www.dunnfamilyfuneralhome.com.
