Karalee Russell Strasser

Karalee Russell-Strasser of Lombard, Il, passed this September at home. She was 80.

Beloved wife of Edgar Strasser, devoted daughter of the late Frank and Ursula Russell, and loving sister of Regina Halihan, Susan Ramazinski, and the late Frank Russell. Devoted aunt to Randy Halihan, Todd Halihan, Cindy Krummick, Jennie Miller and Richie Ramazinski.

A retired IT technician for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Karalee was a small business owner of Yummy Goodies snack vendors. She enjoyed her independence, traveling solo cross country many times. She kept salt water aquariums, tended her gardens, and in the kitchen she was always adventurous experimenting with recipes.

Karalee is laid to rest next to Edgar at Acacia Park Cemetery and Mausoleum, in Norwood Park Township.

Arrangements entrusted to Chicagoland Cremation Options of Schiller Park, IL.
