Obituary of Donna M. Wicevic

Donna Wicevic (nee Sartori) Donna Wicevic (nee Sartori) passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 28, 2017 after a ten year battle with Alzheimer's Disease. She was born on February 15, 1934 to John and Evelyn Sartori (nee Woodward). She was a wife and mother and loved being with her family most of all and could make any baby smile. Everyone who was lucky enough to know her, will remember her easy sense of humor, kindness, quick wit, passion for Windex, black high heels, double baked potatos, fried chicken and rooskis. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Andy, to whom she was married for 50 years. She said she married him because he had nice arms and he was never boring! They enjoyed many trips to Vegas and Hawaii with dear friends, Larry and Carol Churnovic and Ralph and Rexie Affinito. She is survived by her five children, Andrea (Diane Cartelli), Andy Rich, Ken, Kim (Tim Mahoney) and John (Kay Schlobohm/Smith), Grandchildren, Jenny Wicevic (Dave Saltzman), Derek Wicevic (Stacy Lange), Kristi Rust (Randy), Jonathan Wicevic (Lauryn Wickersham), Katie Wicevic, Tim Mahoney, Corey Wicevic, Ally Mahoney and Avery Cartelli-Veenhuis (Scott), and great-grandchildren, Jackson Saltzman, Bethany Wicevic, Anderson Rust, Drake Saltzman and Leonora Rust. She will be dearly missed by her sisters Louise Till (Henry), Frances English (Bill), Jean Purkart (Louie) and brother John Sartori (Joann), and numerous nieces and nephews. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, April 6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 710 W. Marion Street, Joliet.
