Marian A. (Trinque) Walendziak, 94, of 4 Chapman Park, Gardner, died peacefully Thursday surrounded by her family in Baldwinville Nursing Home.
Marian was born in Gardner on May 1, 1916, the daughter of Alfred J. and Marie (Antil) Trinque and lived in East Templeton before returning to Gardner in 1948.

Marian attended Templeton schools. She was a member of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church in Gardner.
Marian loved cooking, knitting, reading and gardening. But most of all, she loved being a wife, mother and grandmother. A very interesting and interested conversationalist, she spent her most enjoyable hours in the company of her loving family and friends.
