Linda was one of those rare people that were truly genuine, she had a great sense of humor, she was smart, talented, a good wife, mother and a terrific sister. She enjoyed camping, fishing, sewing, all sorts of craft's, gardening, decorating her home, remodeling-putting in flooring, etc.; she could do anything she set her mind to. The family moved to Hiawatha when she was nine months old, left in December of 1959, when Dad became too ill to work the mines. We all missed our friends, but she remained true to hers and kept in contact with them all through the years. She was kind, sweet and loving. She took care of Dad and our brother Herb when they became too ill, to care for themselves. Her biggest joy was being a wife and mother. She will be missed more than this family can never convey.

Mischa Clone Neilson Obituary

Mischa Clone Neilson(1993 - 2015)

Mischa Clone Neilson
1993 ~ 2015
At the age of 21, Mischa Clone Neilson, passed away January 22, 2015, surrounded by family and friends due to complications stemming from type 1 diabetes.
Mischa was born May 4, 1993 to Michael Neilson and Tanya Martinez Aiono. Always a vibrant, loving person, Mischa had an amazing ability to connect friends and family to each other and make sure everyone felt loved.
Diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 10, Mischa battled the disease with all her might and put up a great fight. Preceded in death by her mother, we find comfort knowing that Tanya was there waiting to greet her in Heaven and that her reunion was a celebration. 
Mischa lived a full life for such a young soul. She worked in several different industries; tech support, food, retail and at Lagoon. She loved and mentored her sister and best friend, Terttu. She married Robert Johnson at the age of 19. Mischa loved animals and kids, and they loved her. She would walk into a room, say hello, and the kids would rush to her side to be with her. "I know, right?"
Mischa is survived by her father Mike (Rose) Neilson, her sister and best friend Terttu Aiono and too many grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, other family members to name as well as countless friends. It has been amazing to see the outpouring of love and loss everyone feels for Mischa. We lost our baby girl!
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and numerous professionals that helped with Mischa's care throughout her journey. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the American Diabetes Foundation.
