Linda Lou Kunick, age 77 of Nisula, MI passed peacefully with her loving family by her side on
April 5, 2026. She was born to the late Alfred and Dorothy (Sullivan) Cayanus. She graduated
from L’Anse High School in 1968. Linda married the love of her life, Lloyd Kunick on June 30,
1973 at St Anns Catholic Church, Baraga. They were married for 52 years. She loved crafting,
gardening, flowers, dancing, sewing and crocheting. She also loved to draw and was a doodler.
Whatever was laying around she was drawing on it, especially when her children were young
and if they left their homework on the table, it had a doodle on it, usually flowers. She loved
the outdoors, and was always walking and tending her flowers in the yard. Linda was a stay-at-
home mom, raising her 3 children until 1995 when she started working at the Baraga Ojibwa
Casino Hotel in Housekeeping. Linda worked there until her retirement in 2006. Her 3
grandsons were her whole world. She was always doing things with them. They especially loved
to play cards and board games.
