Born and raised in Chicago, the daughter of Henry Jaronski and Eva Jaronski (Mossakowski) she attended numerous parochial and Chicago public schools growing up with her sister Gloria. She was very proud of her Polish (and French) heritage. After graduating from Kelvyn Park High School in June 1961, while working as a bookkeeper, she met her future husband Lawrence Newman. They met on a blind date, arranged by their mutual (life-long) best friends; Tom and Lynn Leach. She fell in love with him because "he was handsome, had a beautiful smile and beautiful blue-gray eyes. She also loved that he was self-confident, a real go getter."
In September 1962 they were married and moved to Champaign, IL where she worked to put him through school at the University of Illinois. After Larry's graduation in 1965, they returned to the Chicago area, raising 3 boys primarily between 2 residences; Wood Dale through 1986 and Killdeer until 1999. Upon retirement in 2002, they split time between homes in Gold Canyon, AZ for the fall/winter months and Ashland, Wisconsin for the spring/summer months. She took great pride in introducing Catholicism to each of her 3 boys by being their first CCD teacher.
Chris loved being surrounded by family and friends; Most dear to her were her 3 sons and their wives, Paul (Donna), Scott (Diane) and Ronald (Paula) and her 9 grandchildren; Danielle, Paul, Jonathan, Thomas and Jordan; Michael and Katherine; Madeline and William. She was also very close to numerous nephews, nieces and extended family.
She left us while sleeping peacefully the morning of June 20, 2022.
" I am relaxing in the healing love of God "
Chris is preceded in death by her beloved parents Eva and Henry Jaronski and only sibling Gloria Nasuta.
