Annette Starr Obituary

Annette Starr (née Konstantelos), passed away in the early morning on May 19, 2023. For seven years she fought hard to stay with her family that she loved so much. She leaves behind her adoring husband of 11 years Jim Starr, and her loving children whom she was so proud of, Jim Andresen and Jeannie Andresen Taché (Jacob Taché). She was preceded in death by her parents Gus and Jeanne Konstantelos, her best friend and little sister Eleni, and two older and protective brothers Bobby and Jimmy. She is survived by her loving sister Yvonne Sito (Steve O'Malley), her brother Fritzy, sisters-in-law Diane Konstantelos and Kiki Konstantelos, and Starr brothers and sisters-in-law Nick (Janice), Jeff (Sheila), and Greg (Kathy) as well as many nieces and nephews and great friends. She was a labor union business agent and Vice President of the UFCW Local 1540/1546 for 35 years, and was active in the women's club at Sts. Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church. But Annie's greatest passion of all was people and being wherever her family and friends needed her. She was known for her baking and always leaving a banana bread on someone's door handle to make them smile. Special shout outs to her besties, Rosie Peters, Val Sarelas, Sherry Bender, and Elliot Miller. Friends and family will meet for visitation on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 from 3PM-8PM at N.H. Scott and Hanekamp Funeral Home, 1240 Waukegan Road, Glenview. Interment private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Annette's name to Heartland Animal Shelter, 586 Palwaukee Drive, Wheeling Il 60090 (or animal shelter of your choice) or the Greek American Nursing Home, 220 N. First Street, Wheeling, IL 60090. May her memory be eternal.

Found this in a book several days ago. I am not surprised as she is on my mind. I miss Annie, but I know she is at peace.

I am so sorry and sad to just now hear about Annette's passing. I went to St Thomas Elementary school with her and her brother (don't quite remember his name, I think it was John. They lived on Ainslie street across the alley from our family. It was great to see her and her husband Jim at our 50 year school reunion that she worked so hard to set up. Everyone had a wonderful time because of her good work. It was the most enjoyable get together my wife and I had ever attended. I apologize for being so late in expressing my condolences as I was in a serious car accident just weeks before her passing and have been disabled for almost two years now. I wish the best for your family.

May God in His eternal goodness bring comfort to Annie's family at this time. May the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ which our Orthodox church honors May 25th, bring each of her loved ones the assurance that truly Annie is at rest in God's unmatched care. Eternal be her memory.

My sweet, beautiful, loving friend of 50 plus years, seems incredibly impossible.
But I count myself lucky and blessed to have known and loved you this very long time.
My last wish is peace for you and unification on the other side.

Annie was a unique person. She cared about everyone and wanted to fix the problems anyone faced. Truly a loving person and with an incredible will to live. She was so proud of her children, Jeannie and Jimmy, and so in love with her husband, Jim. I find comfort in believing Eleni greeted her with open arms. R.I.P. my dear friend.
