Linda Ann (Walker) Dudzik

Linda A. Dudzik, age 62 of the Township of Grant, passed away on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at ThedaCare Medical Center, Shawano.

Linda Ann Dudzik was born April 23, 1960 in Kaukauna, WI, daughter to Elaine (nee Malueg) and the late Lee Walker. She attended school in Clintonville for a time and later Marion High School, graduating with the class of 1978. Growing up on the family farm, Linda developed an affinity for animals, especially horses. During her life, horseback riding was something she really cherished. Linda worked as a server at Jim & Jerry’s, Clintonville and worked at Carver Wood Products, Marion for a time; but she really loved caring for her children at home. She also opened her home for daycare children for many years. Linda was united in marriage to Brian K. Dudzik on March 27, 1982 at the United Methodist Church, Marion. She enjoyed anything outdoors, especially camping somewhere quiet where she wouldn’t be disturbed. Linda really loved her dogs; as the family would joke; “more than her own children sometimes.” She enjoyed bird-watching at her feeders and really loved it when the hummingbirds would show up. Even after all of her difficulties and health-related issues, Linda always had a big smile and will be remembered as someone who never gave up.
