Jan Lollini Obituary

The world has lost a true original and a strong woman. Jan Lollini died April 21, 2019, surrounded by her loved ones after a short but intense struggle with leukemia. At the end, Jan was accepting of her fate and she found strength in the knowledge that her continual helping of others as well as the kindness she shared so abundantly were her free pass through the pearly gates. Born in Chicago to Frank and Louise (Cubelotti) Pelegrino, and raised in Melrose Park. She is survived by sisters Antonia DeCola (Anthony) and Fran Pelegrino (Clint Johnson), who remained by her side through her death. This "alliance" lives on even with her passing.She married the love of her life, Raymond Lollini, Sr. nearly 55 years ago and has two fabulous children, Raymond Lollini, Jr (Ellen) and Lauren Lollini. But her heart truly belonged to her grandchildren, Nate and Lucy Lollini, for whom she found tremendous pride and joy.Family has always been important to Jan and she was surrounded by many nieces and nephews, small and large, in life and in those final days.

I worked with Jan at Pioneer Screw and think of her every time I go up and down Arlington Heights Road passing her workplace at Northwest Point in Elk Grove Village. She was one of a kind

Condolences to Ray and family. Jan Lollini was a genuinely great woman in every way.

I had the privilege of working with Jan at a small manufacturing company back in the mid-1980's. She was a cheerful presence and source of calming in that forever crazy world.

I am very saddened to learn of her passing today.

I'm heartbroken by this news - Jan was a dear friend for 30 years. Hearing her laughter made all my worries melt away. Her spirit was larger than life, and that light will stay with us forever. My sincere condolences.
