When she was taking over the Senate leadership position, Dziedzic was asked what advice her father might have given her. “Just listen to people. Keep your head down and do your work. People want you to get things done,” she said.
Arrangements are pending. Beside her mother, Dziedzic is survived by her sisters Anne Kelling of Waldorf, Minn., and Kelly, of Minneapolis; and her brothers Stephen, of Minneapolis; Timothy, of Stillwater; and Joe, of Roseville.
