Lillian “Lil” Zaggy, age 94, of Western Springs, IL passed away on June 10, 2020. Lil was a proud, longtime resident of Western Springs and an active parishioner of St. John of the Cross Church. Beloved wife of the late Theodore “Ted” Zaggy; loving mother of son Alan (Maryann), daughters Andrea (Craig) Abbott, and Kyla Zaggy; cherished grandchildren, Evan (Amy), Aaron, Matthew, Anamaria Zaggy, Douglas (Anne), Michael Abbott, and Mylo Zaggy; also survived by several loving nieces and nephews. Lillian was preceded in death by her parents John and Emma Duras of Joliet, dear sister Jackie (the late Josh) Vollmer and her aunt Jeanette (the late James) Corcoran. Raised in Joliet, Lillian traveled to various locations throughout the U.S. with Ted during his service as a Naval Officer. Once they settled permanently in Illinois, she devoted herself to raising her children. Lil was active in the Western Springs Garden Club, the Questers Group, and the Village Club of Western Springs as well as being active in her children’s school activities and interests. She was an excellent seamstress, loved to dance, travel, entertain and enjoyed the many friendships that were nurtured for decades.
