Lakin's on the Lake
Following parents footsteps
We are the Lakin family! Patrick (Pete), Angela, our 2 kids, Aniston (9) and Morgan (7), and Blue, our 1.5-year-old Springer Spaniel.
Angela was born and raised in Lake Sherwood on Ravinewood drive. Her parents, the late Louis & Carol Margiotta purchased the home in August of 1975.
Angela attended Milford High school, went on to Western Michigan University, then moved to Charlotte, North Carolina after graduation.
Upon moving to NC, Angela met Pete, a native Charlottean. They married in Asheville, NC, in 2011. Pete attended Virginia Tech University with a degree in Architecture. He currently works remotely for an Architecture firm in NC while helping out friends and neighbors with design plans for additions and renovations to their homes.
In 2020, Angela’s Father, Louis Margiotta passed away. Just two years later, her mother Carol passed away. Lou and Carol wanted nothing more than for the Lakin family to move back to Michigan to be with her 2 sisters and live in the original Margiotta home in Lake Sherwood. In June 2023, the Lakin family decided to make the move back home to Ravinewood drive.
In fact, Angela’s oldest sister Dana, husband, and 4 children also live in Lake Sherwood on Driftwood! Additionally, her middle Sister, Gina, lives on Cedar Island Lake with her husband Brooks and 3 children. It truly is a small, but blessed, world here in the neighborhood!
Lou and Carol built such a wonderful life here on Lake Sherwood for 47 years. Our family can only hope to one day pass the Margiotta family home on to their daughters!
Family fun facts:

- We enjoy watching Lions games and playing Bunco with neighbors.
