Born in Glenview, Illinois to the Rugen family on May 5, 1926, she died after a very happy life of 96 years. She was a wonderful mother and she had many friends in her Mt. Vernon community and was well loved at Sunrise in Buffalo Grove. She enjoyed her bridge and bingo!!

She is survived by her children, Sandy (Schmidt) Ballantini and husband Ron, Jackie (Schmidt) LeVernier and husband Sam Sides, and Ron and wife Lisa (Wolf) Schmidt. Her cherished grandchildren are Lisa (Lindell) Popjoy and husband Christopher Popjoy, Cory and Courtney (Collins) Ballantini, Rebecca LeVernier, Max Schmidt and Sam Schmidt as well as her Great Grandchildren, Julia and Beau Lindell, and Graham and Wells Ballantini. She is survived by her sister Beverly (Rugen) Kostera and her husband John and Sister-in-Law, Shirley Rugen.
