Illa graduated from Fremont Ross High School, class of 1945 and later met and married the love of her life, William R. Weng on October 9, 1949 and spent over 68 wonderful years together.
She worked for a brief time as a bookkeeper for Cresent MFG. and Weng's music studio, but her true passion was music. She was an organist 26 1/2 year at St. Mark Lutheran Church and choir director for 15 years. She was a member of St Mark Lutheran in Fremont, Ohio and also Emmanuel Lutheran in Naples, Florida where her spiritual faith guided her daily living. She and Bill started the youth tennis program in their hometown of Fremont, Ohio and taught many youth the game of tennis for over 25 years. They continued running tennis leagues for adults when they moved to Naples in 2003. She also loved to play friendly matches and tournaments with friends.
Illa sadly leaves behind her husband, William R. Weng; two daughters, Terry (Tim) Corbin and Lisa (Eric) Wolfe; five granddaughters, Tiffany, Taylor, Natalie, Nicole, and Erica; and 19 great grandchildren.
Illa loved their beachhouse where she would walk the beach and watch the beautiful sunsets.
