Frances Budny Obituary
Cedarburg - (nee Walkowiak) Born to Eternal Life on Monday, April 19, 2021, age 92 years. Beloved wife for 63 years of the late Bernard "Bud" Budny. Loving mother of Judith (Michael Chybowski) Budny, Mary Lou (Dr. Scott) Cameron, Dr. Christopher (Cheryl Gregory) Budny and Wendy Lee Budny. Proud grandmother of Evan, Elizabeth (Travis), Erica (Kay), Jessica (Peter), Hunter, Ryan (fiancee Hannah), Alison and Patrick (Kaitlyn). Great-grandmother of Sebastian, Elliot, Ezra, Evelyn and Amelia. Fond sister of Joan (the late Louis) Mezydlo. Former mother-in-law of Kathleen Glassel. Further survived by other relatives and friends.
Frances shared her beautiful voice with St. Veronica Parish as a longtime member of The Adult Choir and Resurrection Choir. In her youth, acting and horse-back riding were favorite activities. Frances had a keen intellect and was a voracious reader. She was an excellent cook and was a beautiful lady. She never left the house without her lipstick on. She especially enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. Her family has fond memories of summer evenings at the cabin, Fran at the head of the pontoon boat, Manhattan in hand, smiling while enjoying the ride. Her greatest achievement was her unfailing love and care for her family, especially for her husband, Bud.
Visitation FRIDAY, April 30, 2021 from 11:30 AM-1:00 PM at St. Veronica Catholic Church, 353 E. Norwich Ave. Mass of Christian Burial at 1:00 PM. Please see Frances' obituary on the Funeral Home's website for a link to the video live-stream of the Funeral.
A special thank you to the staff at the Lasata Community in Cedarburg for their compassionate care.

Aunt Frances, for all the years of the Budny family get togethers, you will always be in my memories as Uncle Buddy’s soul mate. I will always remember your kindness to all of us many second generation children. You had time to talk and most importantly acknowledged each of us as individuals. God Bless you, say a special hello to Uncle Buddy in heaven.
