Linda Ellen Lucchesi

Linda E. Lucchesi

Found peace on Saturday, September 13, 2025, age 75 years. Beloved mother of Timothy Fenske, Stefanie Klopp, and Joseph (Danielle Pike) Klopp. Grandmother of Ethan, Andrew, Sam, and Aaron Fenske, and Friedrech and Luka Klopp. Dear sister of the late Annemarie (Robert Breske) Breske, the late Susan (the late Lane) Zastrow, Joseph (Chris) Lucchesi, Gina (Ron Hayek) Lucchesi, Michael (Jeanne Schrank) Lucchesi, Louis (Brandy Glass-Lucchesi) Lucchesi, and Mary (Michael) Engelbart. Further survived by Gary Fenske, James Frederick Klopp, and Charles Hayek and other family and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents Albert and Anne Lucchesi.

Linda E. Lucchesi will be remembered by many as a larger than life character whose laugh could fill a room-someone who could almost always find the humor in things, no matter the circumstances. She spoke endlessly of her three children, Timothy, Stefanie, and Joseph. Linda took great pride in knowing both her sons grew into exemplary fathers to her six grandsons.

One of eight Lucchesi children, Linda grew up in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Having been the third of the "Big Four" (Annemarie, Susan, Linda, Joseph), she found herself attending St. Sebastian's Catholic School with her siblings, going on day trips with her father Al, and babysitting for the "Little Four" (Gina, Michael, Louis, Mary). The Little Four loved when Linda would babysit, as she let them stay up late, play games, and watch scary movies. She would then later attend Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee.

When it came to people, Linda had a great intuition and was highly perceptive. She had tried multiple professions before landing the perfect job for a person with her engaging personality. She settled into a highly effective career in healthcare recruitment over decades. She had dreamt of eventually writing a book.

In her spare time, Linda relished old Hollywood, especially movies starring Montgomery Clift. She loved reading, visiting Disneyworld, and exploring historical American cities while on "Sisters Trips."

Linda was closest in age and in spirit to her older sister Suzy. Not only did the two sisters share a bedroom growing up, but they would reunite later in life to share the scenic state of Tennessee, where they lived out the remainder of their lives. Linda and her oldest sister Annemarie enjoyed attending concerts together, traveling, and dining at Wisconsin supper clubs. She joins Suzy and Annmarie in eternal life. All three will be greatly missed.
