Nancy Matke

Loving mother of Cindy (Tim) Schumacher, Greg (Jo-Ann) and Mark (Michele). Beloved grandmother of Lorianne (J.P.) D'Amico, Rebecca, Matthew (Fiancé Hannah), Chad, Wyatt, Julia, Wilson, Andrew and Noah. Cherished great-grandmother of Anastasia. Predeceased by her husband Gerald Matke.

In addition to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchild, she is survived by her beloved and loyal sister Mary Ellen; her nieces Debbie (Mike) Boyce, Donna (Dennis) Galik, Diane Karge, Denise Jones; and her great nieces and nephews, Josh, Christopher, Bailee, Michael, Lukas, and Austin; her in-laws Pearl, Gerri, and Aida.

Nancy was a teacher, a stay-at-home mom, small business owner and bookkeeper. She was always a book lover and a ferocious reader.

Most important thing for mom was family. She was always at every get together and hosted many events over the years. She was very kind and practiced what she taught: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Nancy will be so greatly missed by all her cousins, her friends, and those who she so intimately made feel special.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 14, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at Mount Auburn Funeral Home, 4101 S. Oak Park Avenue, Stickney, IL 60402. Burial will follow at Mount Auburn Memorial Park.
