Andrew A Dudzinski
April 9, 1927 - September 10, 2026

Andrew Dudzinski, of Littleton West Virginia, formerly of Levittown Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2026 at the age of 99. Andrew lived a long, full and remarkable life. One defined by hard work, integrity, service, family, kindness and an unwavering willingness to lend a helping hand.

At the age of 16, Andrew left school to begin an apprenticeship as a machinist, beginning a career that would become a lifelong source of pride. At 18 he was drafted into the United States Army and served during World War II. He attended the Nuremberg Trials. This was a major event in his life that he would share with those closest to him. By the age of 20, determined to finish what he started he came home and completed his high school education and then joined the US Naval reserves.

After returning home Andrew met and married his first wife Audre and together they raised 4 daughters. Andrew devoted 35 years to his career as a tool & die maker for Rohm Haas in Bristol, PA before eventually retiring in 1992. Retirement brought Andrew to the place that would capture his heart, the mountains of West Virginia. There, he found the peace and tranquility he so desired. Eventually Andrew met and married his second wife Nora Lena (Mace). Andrew cared for Nora with great love and devotion until her passing in 2011.

Andrew was proud of his Polish heritage, proud of his parent’s resilience and hard work in the “new country “. He found joy in the simplicity of life, always gardening and tending to fruit orchards. He loved all animals domestic or in nature. Andrew could often be found walking his fence line, spotting deer or looking for the best red hawk in the sky. He loved tinkering and figuring out how things worked, rebuilding engines in his vehicles and proudly never owning a brand-new car! He took great satisfaction in doing things himself and he lived by the belief that “A job worth doing is worth doing right“! Andrew will be remembered most, however for the way he treated people. He was a friend to anyone he met, never hesitating to offer a helping hand. His generosity, quiet strength and genuine interest touched countless lives.

Andrew leaves behind his four daughters; Audrey Dudzinski of Kutztown PA, Andrea Kline (Lawrence) of Chalfont PA, Marguerite Tramontana (Jimmy) of Holland PA, and Clarise Fedor (Kevin J Gilligan) of Philadelphia PA, six grandchildren; Christopher M Kamnik, Joseph A Chapman, David R Chapman, Shannon M Cannell, Heather N Donat, and Rachael L Fedor, and 21 great grandchildren. Andrew is also survived by a nephew and several nieces. He also leaves behind close friends and neighbors who will carry his stories and lessons and his example with them.
