[N25758] Obituary of Sandra Ann Klekowski

Sandra A. Klekowski, 72, of Niles and formerly of Chicago and Calumet City, Illinois, was born into eternal life on Thursday, October 8, 2020, at her home. She was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 13, 1948, to the late Frank J. and Bernice M. (Cieslinski) Klekowski. After graduating from high school Sandy went on to attend college and became a Legal Secretary. After more than 30 years as a legal secretary and 3rd Order Franciscan Sandy retired to Niles and thrived as a volunteer throughout her community. She had a good heart; she was always one of the first to offer volunteer services, whether it was at the Senior Center, or one of the many local, area churches. She was very active in organizing and helping with the local food truck. “For the joy of it” was her motto. She was preceded in eternal life by her parents, Frank and Bernice Klekowski; and cherished brother, Frank Klekowski.
Sandy is survived by her loving brother, James Klekowski; sister-in-law Lynda (Baker) Klekowski; nieces, Jennifer and Gina Lucia; nephew, Dyllan; aunt, Lorraine Sinkuler; and many cousins and devoted friends. In keeping with her wishes cremation has taken place, and her family will be hosting a memorial service at Hope Community Church, where Sandy was a member, located at 2390 Lake Street in Niles; the date and time will be announced soon. They will also be hosting a memorial service at St. Andrew the Apostle Church, located at 768 Lincoln Ave., in Calumet City; the date and time will be announced soon. She will be inurned at Holy Cross Cemetery in Calumet City, Illinois next to her family. Memorial contributions in her memory may be directed to the Greater Niles Senior Center or the Niles-Buchanan Relay for Life.
