Linda J Zajkowski

Linda Joyce Zajkowski passed away with her family praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet by her side on June 27, 2023, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She was born on August 21, 1947 in Stamford, CT to Emily (Zajac) Kurpiel of Stamford and the late Chester Kurpiel. Linda graduated from Stamford High School in 1965 and went on to hold Administrative positions at White Tower Restaurant Headquarters and Doctors Radiology Group at the Tully Center in Stamford. Her prized role was being a homemaker and raising her children and grandchildren. Linda gave of herself generously to those around her, especially her grandchildren. She was always ready to support and cheer them on at their academic, musical and athletic activities. She cherished sleepovers, watching them swim in the pool, reading books with them, making their favorite meals and surprising them with gifts. It was important to her to keep Polish traditions alive with things such as making pierogi and chrusciki with her family. Linda was an active member of the Women's Guild at the Church of the Holy Spirit, as well as, the Holy Name of Jesus Church in Stamford, where she volunteered her time and talents in the church choir, Dozynki, Rosary Society, making butter lambs, school Bingo’s and craft fairs, and in the rectory. She loved floral arranging and joined the Wilton Garden Club, where, in her first year as a member, she won a first-place award for Floral Design in the club’s Flower Show. Linda enjoyed playing cards, shopping, finding a good deal and, of course, devoutly prayed the Rosary. She was known for her calm and gentle nature, all of her special touches and attention to details, and always sending you a thoughtful card for any occasion. Linda is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Zygmunt Zajkowski, her children Robert Zajkowski of Stamford, Laurie Musilli (Dominick) of Wilton, Suzanne Cartell (Evan) of Trumbull, and grandchildren Juliana and Tony Musilli, and Harrison and Hannah Cartell. She also leaves behind her mother, Emily Kurpiel of Stamford, sisters Kathy Adams (Elmer) of Trumbull and Teresa Sokolowski (Michael Hepp) of Naugatuck and several nieces and nephews.
