Mary Lynn Gwidt, 55, Oconto Falls, died unexpectedly of natural causes July 24, 2014, at her home. The daughter of Adam and Ione (Moesch) Gwidt was born in Pulaski on July 3, 1959.
Mary Lynn had been employed at Carver Yacht in Pulaski and then for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she was involved with the gypsy moth studies.
Mary Lynn was a small animal 4-H leader in Oconto County. She loved animals and trained goats, chickens and dogs. She especially loved collies. Her longtime dream was to raise goats and have a goat dairy. She was a great single parent and was proud of her son, daughter and grandchildren.
Mary Lynn inherited the Gwidt gene and had a green thumb. She loved to grow large pumpkins for the grandchildren, pumpkins in which she carved their names. She also hosted Easter egg hunts for the kids.
Mary Lynn loved camping at Boulder Lake. Trips to the Nicolet Forest for the “Charlie Brown Christmas tree” were an annual event.
She is survived by her son, Ken (Kim) Fischer, and their children, Kali, Karli and Kullen, Spruce; her daughter, Correna (Doug) Krejcarek, and their children, Caitlyn, Hanna and Alec, Abrams; two sisters and five brothers, Patricia Gwidt, Legend Lake, Gary (Kathy) Gwidt, Mequon, Sue (Tom) Kapla, Sobieski, Tom (Patty) Gwidt, Krakow, Mike (Theresa) Gwidt, Pulaski, Tim (Mary) Gwidt, Green Bay, Steve (Lynn) Gwidt, Pulaski; one sister-in-law, Tracy Gwidt, Green Bay; several nieces and nephews; and her godson, Chris Kapla.
