Phyllis Lorenz Obituary

PHYLLIS ADA LORENZ Phyllis Ada Lorenz, age 90, passed away in Aurora, Illinois on Monday, October 28, 2013. Phyllis was born in Chicago, on February 28, 1923 to Helen and George Wenz. She spent the majority of her life living in Elmhurst with her husband, Arthur Lorenz, who preceded her in death. She relocated to Aurora in 1986; however, until the day she died, Elmhurst was very near and dear to her heart. Phyllis devoted her life to being a dedicated homemaker to her husband, Arthur, and only child, Mark (Sandra) Lorenz of Aurora, Illinois. She was fortunate to have three wonderful grandchildren, Kimberly (Jeremy) Weiss of Westfield, Indiana, Michael (Colleen) Lorenz of Aurora, Illinois and Julie (Alan) Jacobs of Sugar Grove, Illinois. Not only was she able to witness all of her grandchildren being married, but she also got to celebrate the birth of five great-grandchildren, Ethan Weiss (5), Shaun Weiss (3 1/2), Blake Lorenz (3), Grayson Lorenz (1) and just recently her first great-grand-daughter, Katelynn Ada Weiss (10 weeks). Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 30, 2013 from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Healy Chapel, 370 Division Drive, Sugar Grove, Illinois 60554. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 AM on Thursday, October 31, 2013 at St. Mark 's Lutheran Church, 27 S. Edgelawn, Aurora, Illinois 60506. Phyllis will be laid to rest next to her husband, Arthur, at Mount Emblem Cemetery, Elmhurst, Illinois. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities, 26345 Network Place, Chicago, IL 60673 ([email protected]) or the Whole Hearts Foundation, P.O. Box 760, Perrysburg, OH 43551 (info@whole hearts.org) For information 630-466-1330 or visit www.healychapel.com to sign the online guestbook.

I enjoyed my visits with Phyllis when she lived at Colony West. She was a wonderful neighbor. I'm sure you will miss her but may you find peace in knowing she is no longer in pain. God Bless all of her family. Eileen Randall

Mark, I was sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I've always had fond memories over the years of the many family gatherings our two families had. I know you will miss her but maybe between your mom and dad and mine they're playing pinocle or something else they enjoyed doing.

May God Bless her,

I knew Phyllis from Plum Landing, and enjoyed our talks. She was a very sweet lady. I'm glad she is physically at peace now, and in God's arms. God Bless your family with the comfort of special memories.

Mark & Sandy,
Phyllis was such a special lady. She made the world nicer with her smile. I enjoyed our Wednesday conversations at Plum Landing.

She was a good friend.
