Linda Maria Kalinosky, age 67, passed away on October 28, 2024 after a 2 year battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her devoted husband and loving children who faithfully fought alongside her the entire time. Linda was born on July 28,1957 to Stuart and Hilda Haucke in Two Rivers, WI and was the eldest of five siblings; Brigit (Donny) Haucke-Wester, Sandra Haucke, Jim (Michelle) Haucke, and her late sister Mary.
Linda's professional journey as a Pharmaceutical Technician spanned over three and a half decades, a testament to her dedication and expertise. Her career took her across the country, from hospitals to specialized home infusion facilities. Linda had a unique ability to elevate every environment she entered, leaving an undeniable mark on both people and places.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Linda's true legacy lies in the lives she touched as a wife, mother, friend, and confidante. Her patience was legendary, her kindness boundless. Those fortunate enough to know Linda speak of her remarkable gift for making others feel truly seen and valued. In moments of joy or sorrow, Linda was the steady presence friends and family sought out.
Linda leaves behind her loving husband Charles M. Kalinosky (affectionately known as Grandpa/ Papa/Papi). Together for 40 years, they nurtured a family that became Linda's greatest pride: Jamie Klosterman, Nathan Kalinosky, Morgan (Jordan) Krause, and Alexandra (Adam) Frey. Her role as a grandmother to Aniyah, Gavin, Logan, Bodhi, Sienna, Evan, Dalton, Harrison, Mila, and Hayes brought her immeasurable joy, and her influence on their young lives will undoubtedly echo through generations. The legacy of Linda and Charles' relationship lives on in the values they instilled in their children and grandchildren, a testament to the power of enduring love and family bonds. She was preceded in death by her father Stuart Haucke and sister Mary Ethel.
Visitation will be held on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 10:30am to 12:00 pm at St. John Nepomucene Church 411 Vandenbroek St. Little Chute, WI. A Catholic Mass will take place at 12:00pm.
