December 9, 1983, to March 5, 2025

With broken hearts, we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Jacob Stephen Lorenz (41), a 6-year resident of Garfield Ridge, IL, and someone who lived and loved the city of Chicago, having come here first for college, and never leaving. 

Jacob is survived by the love of his life, his wife Kathryn Krzynowek, and his cherished and loved pets Janie, Luc and Roz. 

Jacob was brought into this world in December of 1983, in Portland, OR by his surviving parents, Susan and Andy Lorenz. He is also survived by his dear sister Melanie and her husband Austin Davis, along with their son and Jacob’s precious nephew, Sebastian (Bash). 

The loss of Jacob also leaves a massive hole in the Krzynowek family, John & Sandy, Lauren & Tyler (and their pet Frankie) all considered Jacob and Kat the perfect match for one another. Jacob always brought joy (and a special holiday cocktail) to every family gathering, and those will never be the same.

Jacob’s laugh and sense of humor were ever present, particularly when he and Kat verbally sparred with quips and ongoing jokes. He loved soccer, but knee problems kept him from following that path, and he graduated from Roosevelt University in Chicago, majoring in theater arts.  At any moment, and with the least provocation, Jacob could be convinced to break out into song, showing off his vocal expertise, much to Kat’s pleasure. 

Jacob also loved a spirited debate and would happily spend hours with a glass of his beloved whiskey debating the pros and cons of nearly any topic. 

And even though his trips back to Portland were not as frequent as he would have liked, he deeply loved his family. He always made a concerted effort to call and stay connected, including regular weekly “Yahtzee Zoom Parties” with his Oregon family over the past few years.

Jacob spent much of his adult life working in the entertainment and hospitality sector, most recently in restaurant IT support.

In keeping with Jacob’s wishes, there will be no public service, however, there will be a Celebration of his Life at The Elm in La Grange, IL on Friday, April 4 from 3 pm-7 pm.

Ethel Irene Reno, of Aurora, IL, passed away peacefully at the age of 90 on November 18, 2024. Born on March 1, 1934, and grew up in Stone Park, IL, she brought joy and warmth to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. Ethel was the beloved daughter of the late Willie Gladys and Bertis Doyle. Ethel married the love of her life, Sam, in 1956 and together they raised five children in Clarendon Hills.

A fun-loving individual who loved to give and receive hugs, Ethel had an undeniable passion for life. Her love for animals was matched only by her incredible talent for baking — her chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies were legendary among family and friends. In her adventurous youth, Ethel made history as the second woman to purchase a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle in Chicago in 1952, showcasing her fearless spirit and independence. 

Ethel will be warmly remembered by her family, including her sister, Joan Edwards; Ethel’s three children, Lynn (Larry) Sabia, Steve (Michelle) Reno, and Christy Reno; and a loving troop of grandchildren: Eric, Nicole, Allie, Matt, Sam, and Katie. Her legacy lives on through her great-grandchildren, Ava, Giovanni, Amelia, Ashton, Luca, Andi, and Ella, as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins. Ethel was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Sam, and two beloved sons, Wayne and Jerry. 

In accordance with her wishes, she generously donated her body to science for Alzheimer’s and medical study, epitomizing her selfless spirit.

Ethel Reno’s legacy of love, laughter, and adventure will forever remain in our hearts.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our mother Gelasia Sanchez. She was born on November 21, 1935 and passed away on December 28, 2024 with her family by her side.

Gelasia (also known as Nicky) spent most of her life as a caretaker. The oldest of nine children, she helped her mother care for and educate her younger siblings. She served as the family and town nurse - many family counted on her in times of medical need. At the age of 19, she married and started her own family. At the age of 28, tragedy struck when her husband died two weeks after their youngest child was born. In order to support her five children, Nicky moved to a large Mexican city to work for a religious organization.

In 1969, she migrated to Detroit where she worked as a judge's maid, and in 1972 she moved to Chicago where she worked as a machine operator at the Wrigley Company. Nicky still found a way to visit her children and parents almost every summer; Nicky made it a priority to frequently get her family together in her parents’ home in Mexico. During the short summer vacations, Nicky made sure to enjoy as much quality time with her family as possible; she also dedicated time to take her kids to medical appointments and to get them ready for the upcoming school year.

In 1972 she met Alfonso; they enjoyed being together so much that they soon decided to spend the rest of their lives together and married. Together they raised Nicky’s 5 children and Alfonso’s nephew whom Nicky treated as her 6th child.

Nicky overcame a challenging life - she was a strong woman and took on additional responsibilities not only looking after her children, but also by serving as a caretaker for many others. Nicky always had helpful advice for her kids, but most importantly she lead by example. Nicky's spirit will live on in all of us.

Con mucha tristeza y dolor compartimos el fallecimiento de nuestra madre Gelasia Sánchez. Nació el 21 de noviembre de 1935 y falleció el 28 de diciembre del 2024 con la familia a su lado.

Gelasia (también conocida como Nico) pasó la mayor parte de su vida como cuidadora. La mayor de nueve hijos, ayudaba a su mamá a cuidar y educar a sus hermanos menores. Trabajó como enfermera de la familia y del pueblo; muchas familias contaban con ella en momentos de necesidad médica. A los 19 años, se casó y formó su propia familia. A la edad de 28 años, una tragedia resulto en la perdida de su esposo a solo dos semanas después del nacimiento de su hijo menor. Para mantener a sus cinco hijos, Nico se mudó a una gran ciudad mexicana para trabajar para una organización religiosa. 

En 1969, emigró a Detroit, donde trabajó como empleada doméstica de un juez, y en 1972 se mudó a Chicago, donde trabajó como operadora de máquinas en la Compañía Wrigley. Nico todavía encontraba la manera de visitar a sus hijos y padres casi todos los veranos; Nicky se propuso reunir a su familia con frecuencia en la casa de sus padres en México. Durante las vacaciones de verano, Nicky se aseguraba de disfrutar el corto tiempo con su familia; también dedicaba tiempo a llevar a sus hijos a las citas médicas y a prepararlos para el próximo año escolar. 

En 1972 conoció a Alfonso; disfrutaron tanto de estar juntos que pronto decidieron pasar el resto de sus vidas juntos y se casaron. Juntos criaron a los 5 hijos de Nico y al sobrino de Alfonso, a quien Nico trataba como su sexto hijo.

Nicky superó una vida difícil: era una mujer fuerte y asumió responsabilidades adicionales no solo cuidando a sus hijos, sino también sirviendo como cuidadora de muchos otros. Nico siempre tuvo consejos útiles para sus hijos, pero lo más importante es que predicó con el ejemplo. El espíritu de Nicky vivirá en todos nosotros.
