Lynda G. Nedeau

RAPID RIVER — Lynda G. Nedeau, age 79, of Rapid River, passed away Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at Christian Park Village in Escanaba. She was born on August 22, 1943, in Nahma, Mich., the daughter of Edwin and Helen (Snow) Olson. Lynda was raised in Isabella and was a 1961 graduate of Nahma High School. The former Lynda Olson married David Nedeau on December 9, 1961, in Isabella. Together, the couple shared 61 years of marriage and raised their daughter, Deanna. Lynda started her working career as a waitress and dish washer at Tylenes Restaurant and Resort at Garden Corners. She then worked at Mac’s Bar in Nahma as a cook and later at the Nahma Inn as a chef until her retirement.  She loved spending time with her family and grandchildren. She loved being outdoors – especially fishing, snowmobiling, and going on jeep rides. She also enjoyed picking berries and wild flowers playing cards and cribbage. Lynda found joy in painting, and loved her cat, Dolly. But most of all, her family and grandchildren meant the world to her.

Lynda is survived by her husband, David Nedeau of Rapid River; daughter, Deanna (Jeff) Walling of Oconto Falls, Wis.; granddaughters, Savannah (Jamison) Miller, Sarah (Tyler) Anderson, and Stacey (Jack) Badgett; 6 great-grandchildren, Jackson, June, Madison, Kaison, Blake, and Blithe; step-granddaughter, Kelsie Walling; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Lynda was preceded in death by her brothers, Edward and Martin Olson.
