Domicell Chudd Obituary
Domicell Dorothy Chudd, 89, claimed her eternal reward on May 21, 2015 in Fort Collins, Colorado, surrounded by her family. Dom was born June 23, 1925 to Mike and Mary Silke in Mecan, WI.
She graduated from Lowell P. Goodrich High School in Fond du Lac in 1943, and immediately went to work for the war effort in Chicago. She met her husband and soulmate, John A. Chudd, in the Windy City, marrying at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Fond du Lac May 3, 1947. An accomplished typist and stenographer, Dom worked in the offices of Wells Manufacturing while raising her children. She retired in 1991, and moved to Colorado in December, 2010.
Dom was an avid reader, often reading 8 or more books at once to suit her interests. She enjoyed crossword puzzles and a rousing game of Scrabble. She had a unique outlook on life that endeared her to most that came in contact with her. Always with a smile and an appreciation for visitors, she reminded us of old fashioned values and attitudes that have become rare in our society. She worried more than most, making us grateful for having fewer cares. Despite her fears, Dom traveled extensively through the United States and Canada by car with her family. She stretched her comfort zone in an effort to expand her horizons, and instilled a sense of adventure and a love of travel in both of her children. Her dry, sarcastic wit was surprising and refreshing. She was always concerned about the cares and lives of people, first asking about others before sharing her own circumstances. She will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her son James (Yvonne) of Fort Collins; her daughter, Christine of San Francisco; and her granddaughter, Jean Chudd Chambers of Colorado Springs.

Dom, will always have a special place in my heart. I worked with her at Wells and she always made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Jim and Christine: Sorry to hear about your mother. She was my second cousin, your grandma and my dad were first cousins; as a matter of fact your grandma was my dad's godmother. I remember the house on Lincoln Ave and getting raspberries from Mike and Mary. Take care.
