Paulette Ankerstar Obituary

Name: Memorial Gathering for Paulette Ankerstar

End: 2014-10-04T21:00:00.000Z
Location: Western Springs

Ankerstar, Paulette 70, formerly of Aurora, recently passed away among family. Survived by daughter, Christina; grandchildren, Sonya, Audra, Blake; sister, Karen DuMontelle; niece, Lisa Tietje; daughter-in-law, Margo Robles; ex-husband, Patrick West and extended family. Preceded in death by her parents and her truly beloved son Derek. Paulette was an intelligent, private, practical person of integrity. She enjoyed her grandchildren immensely. An avid reader, her vocabulary was so extensive that we accused her of making up words. She was also a talented painter. Paulette was a devoted mother with a knack for sewing dance and Halloween costumes and delivering the comfort of homemade banana bread at just the right times. She will be missed. We will gather to remember Paulette at Christina's home in Western Springs on Sunday, October 5th, 1:00-4:00p.m. In lieu of flowers/food/material gifts of any kind, please donate to The Compassionate Friends, an organization that Paulette greatly appreciated.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Rest In Peace Paulette.
I have so many memories from when you lived on Manor Place with Derek. You will always have a special place in my heart. You and Derek are finally together again! I will never forget the day Rhino and I were getting out of hand and you came down and put us all in line just like a great mother would. Thank you for always caring about me.

God bless you with much love,
Felix
