Linda Jeske Obituary

Linda A. Jeske

(Nee Hart). Passed away peacefully on May 6th, 2025 at the age of 74. Beloved wife of the late Richard Jeske. Loving mom of Amy Jeske (Eric Woods) and Matthew (Kerry) Jeske. Cherished grandma Jade, Blake, Hunter, and Baker. Dear sister of Francis Hart (Elizabeth) Hart and Patrick (Cindy) Hart. Beloved aunt of Victoria (Magdie) Rizk and their daughter Emrie and Nicole (David) Baier. Further survived by other relatives and dear friends.

Linda was a devoted mother, generous, and selfless. She worked in finance for the Milwaukee Public School System for over 40 years. She will be remembered for her phenomenal baking and cooking, especially Danish Puff’s and Clam Dip. Family meant everything to her, especially being with her grandchildren. She had an incredible sense of humor and a wonderful laugh that will be greatly missed.

The family would like to thank the staff at both Brookdale in Brookfield and Moments Hospice for all of the kind, compassionate, and loving care given to our mother.

Visitation will be held at Max A. Sass & Sons-Mission Hills Chapel (8910 W. Drexel Ave., Franklin, WI) on Friday, May 23rd starting at 3PM until time of funeral service at 6PM. Private family interment at Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery at a later date.
