Linda J. Turek (nee Lesko), 81 of Brookfield, died on May 11, 2024. Born on July 10, 1943, she was most proud of raising her four children, but also worked for PAV Realty, Clyde Federal, and for BFI for a month shy of 10 years. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, crocheting, and especially singing in the choir and dancing with her husband, her favorite dances being the waltz and the cha-cha. Sixty-one years ago, Linda taught her soon-to-be husband, Robert, both of these dances so they could dance them together at their wedding.
Linda was the wife of the late Robert J. Turek Sr.; the mother of Robert (Elizabeth) Turek Jr., James (Tammy) Turek, Linda (Anthony) Krivak and Mary (fiancée Robert Maskal) Turek; grandmother of Carolyn Turek, Christine (Cameron) Guest, Robert R. Turek, Haley Turek, Kaitlin Krivak, Alyssa Krivak, Ellen Krivak and Sabrina Krivak; sister of Leonard (Barbara) Lesko, the late Matthew (late Marilyn) Lesko, and the late James (late Marie) Lesko; the aunt of many; and dog mommy to Donny.
