Lindsey Marie Williams
Lindsey Marie Williams, age 28, of Hastings, passed away after a 5-year courageous battle with EHE cancer Friday, Aug. 21, 2020 at her home in Hastings.
Lindsey was born on December 17, 1991, the daughter Bryan and Connie (Karmes) Williams. She was a 2010 graduate of Hastings High School and Davenport University in 2015. She worked at McDonald’s, County Seat, Old Marsh Golf Club, Little Harbor Club, and D&S Machine Repair.
Lindsey’s entire family was important to her; she especially loved her mama, her pops, her bubbies and “sisters”. In addition, she loved her D&S family as they offered so much support to her over the past few years. Lindsey’s hobbies included watching Hallmark Channel, shopping, makeup and cheerleading. She started cheerleading when she was five years old and continued to cheer through her senior year in the Hastings school system. After graduating from Davenport University, Lindsey continued to assist her mom in coaching competitive cheer. She was a member of Thornapple Valley Church and accepted the Lord as her Savior. With her illness, she was not always able to attend in-person, but faithfully attended virtually.
Lindsey is preceded in death by her grandmother Leann Trewhella; grandfather James Williams; grandmother Sandra Karmes; great-grandparents Willard and Fern Lind, William and Geneva Mallekoote, and cousin Derek Williams.
She is survived by her parents Bryan and Connie (Karmes) Williams; brothers, Tyler (Cinthia) Williams, Dylan Williams; grandparents, Robert Royer, Louis Karmes and Diane Williams, and many uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Lindsey battled this very rare form of cancer that has had limited research. In lieu of flowers, she would have wanted donations to be made in her memory to The EHE Foundation at https://fightehe.org/donate-now/ or 1561 Hopi Court; Hobart, WI 54313.
Her service was held on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020 at Thornapple Valley Church, 2750 M-43, Hastings, MI 49058.
