Linda was most well known for her intense, committed love for her family and dear friends, her strong faith, her love of anything Disney, and her exceptionally generous heart. She was humorous and joyful and kept everyone laughing with her quick wit and outgoing nature. Her hobbies included reading, gardening, organizing, decorating, and daily chats on the phone with her sister.
She is survived by her husband, John (Jay) Duda; her son, Chris Duda his wife, Jennifer and their children, Brooke, Nathan, and Cameron; her son Craig Duda, his wife Dee, and their children Charlie and Elliot; her sister, Carole Fustine Krise; her brothers, Mark and Guy Fustine. Her grandchildren were the loves of her life and gave her so much joy.
