EDITH LINCOLN 1936-2017
Edith L. Lincoln of Lyons, formerly of Muir, passed away Aug. 7, 2017. Edith was 
born Aug. 18, 1936 to Stephen and Mildred (Bennett) Kimball.

She was a graduate of Pewamo-Westphalia School in 1954 and Lansing business 
University in 1956. She married the love of her life, John J. Lincoln, June 16, 
1956.

Their union bore nine children Robert of Muir, Joan of Lyons, Theresa (Daryel) 
McCarn of Ionia, Susan of Fenwick, Edward of Ionia, David (Jeff) of Grand 
Rapids, Patricia of Ionia, Mary Anne of Grand Rapids and Maureen of Lebanon, 
Indiana; 14 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.

Edith is also survived by a brother, Stephen (Joanne) Kimball of Lyons; and 
sister-in-law, Anne Lincoln, also of Lyons; many nieces and nephews; her dearest 
friend, Carolyn Kasdorf of Muir; and her "extra special" kids, Kris Ward, John 
Jacobsen and Cori McKenna-O'Conner.

She is predeceased by her husband, John, in June 2000, and daughter-in-law, 
Christine, in June 2017.

She worked for 26 years for Ionia county Commission on Aging, 24 years a Lyons 
township Clerk, Muir Village clerk and numerous other positions, but her pride 
and joy was being a mom to her nine kids. She was a member of the Ionia County 
Township Officers Association. She as a master at juggling schedules and always 
put her family's needs ahead of her own. She loved to travel, especially with 
one or more of her kids, and seeing the sights in Michigan was one of her 
favorite things to do She would frequently watch "Under the Radar" to get ideas 
of the next place to visit.

Edith was a huge supporter of the Lyons-Muir Fire Department and First 
responders and her family could not be more thankful for all that they have 
done. We encourage all to support them in whatever way possible. The family 
would also like to thank Ionia County Victim Advocates and Michigan State police 
for all their help.

Mass of christian Burial will be held Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017 at 11 a.m. at SS 
Peter & Paul Catholic Church with the Rev. Tom Brown presiding. Rite of 
committal to follow at Lons Twp. Cemetery. Visitation will be at the Lake 
Funeral Home in Ionia Friday from 4-7 p.m.. Those wishing may make memorial 
contributions to family Choice. Online condolences may be made to
