Mickey will be missed for her many years of friendship, games, travel, cruising, golf and lots of hospitality together. Our hearts go out to all of her family and many friends. She will be joining ‘The Captain of the Day’,
perhaps for more cruising.
I am so blessed to have known Mickey for 65 years. Through eighth grade, high school, and college, we shared our hopes, dreams, disappointments, and joys. In recent years, we have done the same.
She was so proud of her family. All of you are in my prayers.
“A faithful friend is beyond price; no sum can balance her worth.” Rest in peace, my friend.
I met aunt Mickey a couple of times and then kept in contact with her she was a fun outgoing person she made it to my grandma’s funeral… She will be sadly missed…
I had the pleasure of working with Mickey for about six years at Osco Drug in the office is in Oakbrook. She was always happy always had a smile on her face always was cheerful and friendly.
We had a great time together and stayed in touch for a while after we both left us, but with me moving out by Galena, it was a little bit hard to visit.
I can’t believe she’s gone. She’s someone you always wanna have around
My sincere condolences to her children, her grandchildren and her friends. we all have lost a wonderful, special lady. I will never forget her.
I met Mickey while she was working at The Wilshire Green Clubhouse, in Indian Head Park where she also lived. She was always very friendly. I’m sorry to hear that she has passed. Condolences to her family and friends.
I knew Mickey at Nazareth Academy. Ate lunch with her, Carol Murphy, and Beverly Janowski. We had a lot of fun and even saw each other on weekends. My heart is broken. I will keep the whole family in my thoughts and prayers
I met Mickey through the Western Springs NewComers Club. She was always friendly and happy and a joy whenever I would see her. My condolences to her family. She will be missed.
Linda and I knew Mickey since the late 60’s when she and Butch moved to Yorba Linda CA. We didn’t get to see her much after they moved back to Western Springs but the times we did Mickey was always the same fun, funny and caring person she had always been. The world was a better place when she was in it and we wish she was still in it!
I was so sad to learn that Mickey passed away.
I worked with her at Wilshire Green, and cared for and valued her as a co-worker and neighbor. She was a joy to be around and was kind to all. Mickey will be missed.
Mickey will be missed and remembered by many. She brought smiles and laughter to all.
