With family at his side, Art passed away peacefully on August 9, 2020 at the age of 79. Art was born in Kingsford, Michigan on January 23, 1941 to Arthur and Margaret (nee Gauthier) Beaudoin. He worked for over 25 years at International Harvester/Navistar in Waukesha. He was married for over 50 years to Deborah (nee Green), the love of his life. When he wasn’t working around the house, he loved to hunt - especially grouse. Arthur was a regular MacGyver when it came to fixing most household items and cars. He loved to frequent rummage and yard sales and always knew a good bargain when he saw one. A dedicated Packers fan and could be seen glued to the TV cheering on his team for a Victory (and sometimes yelling at the TV).
Art was preceded in death by his parents and brother, William. He is survived by his loving wife Deborah; children: James (Tracy), Kathleen Thayer (Richard), Steven Samuel (Susie) and Donald Samuel (Jan). His siblings: Robert Beaudoin (Cass), Laverne Long, Helen Peil (Gary), Debra Raduka and his sister-in-law Elaine. He was blessed to have 9 grandchildren - Josh, Justin, Cody, Cole, Nicole, Donald Jr., Amber, Steven Jr., Randy and 10 great grandchildren.
A private family service will be held. Special thanks to all the nurses at Angels Grace Hospice.
