Elvera M. Bean, 95 of Huntley, IL was born September 25, 1923 in Chicago to Joseph and Mary (nee DiPinto) Antonucci and passed away June 18, 2019 surrounded by her loving family. Elvera was the beloved wife of 73 years to Elbridge Bean; loving mother of Debbie (Robert) Matusiak, Cheryl (Emil) Teri, Alan (Melissa) Bean and Bob Bean; cherished grandmother of 8; great-grandmother of 9 and dear sister of Louise Disabato, Raymond (Marlene) Antonucci and the late Joseph Antonucci. Growing up in Chicago, Elvera was a lover of all sports, regularly attended Friday night dances at Kelvyn Park High School, and was where she forged some of her deepest friendships. Through a friend, Elvera also met a handsome young man who courted her prior to his enlisting in the Army. Through regular correspondence and dreams of a future life together, she waited 4 ½ years until he returned from WWII and they were wed on November 3, 1945. Though Elvera worked before, during and after raising four children, her first love was always her husband and extended family who she worshiped until the very end. She will be dearly missed.
