Lindsey Michelle Geiling
On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2026, Lindsey Michelle Geiling left this life, ran into the arms of Jesus to spend eternity with Him. She is now able to fully express her faith in God without limitation.
Before sunrise on December 6, 1984, she came into this world – Small but Strong, Fragile yet Determined – she changed our world forever. The first person she saw that morning was her Daddy and they immediately became best friends. She was a true Daddy's Girl. Although many of her days were difficult and full of pain, her smile could melt your heart. Her beautiful red hair and princess wave drew people in and for those willing to take the time to get to know her, became a forever friend. Lindsey never spoke a word but she could speak directly to your heart. She was unable to use sign language but she had a language of her own – humming when she was content, distinct sounds when she was in need, she would reach and wave to get attention and she developed her own sign for "Jesus" and used it when we prayed and worshiped the Lord. Lindsey taught us more than we could possibly teach her. She was not prejudiced, she didn't care how much money you had, she enjoyed simple pleasures and seemed to never forget a face. She is proof that salvation is simple to all who will believe – the only way is through Faith in Jesus Christ. Lindsey believed! Lindsey was a light to this world as well as a test. Words are not needed to express love.
Life with Lindsey was a mystery. We were always trying to make her comfortable, meet her needs and give her choices so that she could enjoy life on earth. She was able to clearly let us know that she loved Jesus, Music, Dow Gardens and Disney World.
Lindsey's schooling started at age 3 at State Street School. She also attended Siebert Elementary, Jefferson Intermediate, Dow High School and the ESA Post Secondary Program – a total of 23 years spent with Midland County ESA. Lindsey enjoyed serving at the Community Center and Riverside Place with her friends April, Jackie and Betty Wilhelm for over 20 years.
If you returned a smile, prayed for our family, held her hand or gave encouraging words, you touched our lives and we thank you. A heartfelt thank you to Betty Wilhelm for the peaceful, gentle love that you gave our family throughout Lindsey's life. You are a mentor and Christian example of perseverance, inclusion and how to show the love of Jesus. Thank you, Father God, for lending us a beautiful soul to love, serve and enjoy. We knew all along that she belongs to you and you lovingly allowed us to borrow her for over 41 years.
Our faith in Jesus and the hope of Heaven gives us peace and joy, knowing that we will join her again in eternity.
Lindsey will be greatly missed and is survived by her parents, Kevin and Connie (Hale) Geiling. She is also survived by her Grandma Phyllis Hale, many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors. Lindsey had a very special relationship with her Grandpa Bob Hale. She is now reunited with him in eternity and we are sure he said "There's my girl". A special thanks to Lindsey's cousin Tyler who always connected with Lindsey and showed her unconditional love, he loved her well. Lindsey was also predeceased by grandparents Aaron and Gerry Geiling, many friends, classmates, family members and three siblings that she has now met for the first time.
To honor Lindsey's life, a Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 11:00 am at Ware Smith Woolever Funeral Home, 1200 W. Wheeler St., Midland MI. Visitation will be held on Friday, May 29, 2026 at 4:00-7:00pm and again on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 10:00 am until time of service. In lieu of flowers, please consider Joni & Friends, Wheels for the World.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depth of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16
