SOUTH BEND — Marge Dudeck always claimed she detested the nickname Club Lido owner Claude Mendell bestowed on her: “Fabulous Marge.”
“She hated it, but she loved it,” her oldest daughter, Kristi Richard, said Thursday. “We all knew.”
For more than 60 years, area listeners agreed with Mendell’s assessment of Dudeck, who died Wednesday from complications due to COVID-19. She was 85.
She is survived by her four children, Michael, Thomas and Victoria “Tori” Dudeck and Kristi, as well as eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Visitation takes place from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday at Zahoran Funeral Home, and a Mass of Christian Burial takes place at 11 a.m. Monday at Our Lady of Hungary in South Bend. ....
