She was known as “Grandma” to many, especially to the neighborhood and the Portage Park baseball teams. Although she loved watching baseball and was the biggest cheerleader for the Chicago Cubs, her family and grandchildren were what was most important to her in life. She talked about her grandchildren more than anything, to strangers and friends, alike. It’s soothing to know that she now lies peacefully with her daughter Vicky and son Rick. Visitation is Wednesday 10/6 from 9am until 2pm at Gibbons Family Funeral Home, 5917 W. Irving Park Rd. Interment Private. It was Grandma’s request that this be a celebration, so please wear celebratory colors or Cubs attire. For info contact 773-777-3944 or www.GFFH.com
