A wonderful brother with a magnificent mind and tender heart.  He led me to the world of literature.  He opened a view of the world from different angles; most notable, perception is the key to knowledge, even if not understood by others.  His heart and mind always reached out to his family, brother, sister-in-law, and his nephews and nieces.  As we journey on through life, may his memories bring out the good in each one of us.      

Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is located at:  6001 W. 111th St., Alsip, Illinois

Joan Vavra, age 87, much loved wife of Bill Vavra (deceased) passed onto God’s perfect world on February 27, 2020.  She enriched the lives of her children; Mike (Kathy), Bill (Janet), Kurt (Peggy) and Kathy (Craig) Luce.  Joan played an active role in the lives of her 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.  She was semi-famous for her watercolors and paintings.  You felt special when she created one of her works of art for your special celebration.  She was the self-designated photographer for all family occasions.  Joan along with her husband Bill enjoyed having the family around them on the beaches of Florida. At home, gardening was one of her passions.  Joan was an avid student of God’s word.  She attended Coffee Break at the Christian Reform Church in Western Springs for 23 years, the women’s fellowship all being gathered in His name, truly became a circle of strength and support for her.   Joan was witty, opinionated and fiercely protective of her brood.  What a Gal! Look out Lord, here she comes!
