Barbara Wolski Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 19, 2024.
Barbara Ann Wolski (née Novak), of Crest Hill, Illinois, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2024. She was born on April 14, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois, to her loving parents, Marie Delores Ledvora and Michael Novak.

Barbara was the devoted mother of six children: Gerald Wolski, Thomas (Ellen) Wolski, Robert (Barbara) Wolski, Linda (Jason) Morehart, Joseph (Amy) Wolski, and Debra (Wallace). She was also a cherished grandmother to Connor, Michaela, Alyssa, Everett, Soren, Adam, Megan, and Joseph Jr. Her family was the center of her life and brought her immense joy.

Barbara found great happiness in traveling with her sisters Arlene, Jan, Sharon, and Diane as well as her close friends Barbara and the late Janet. Known for her warm hospitality and love of cooking, she welcomed everyone into her home with open arms and a delicious meal. Her laughter and vibrant spirit left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

You´re with me through every painting I paint, every recipe I attempt, every song I sing, every movie I watch. I hear you in every golden-age musical song, and I hear you in my dad´s laugh.

Selfless, wise, beautiful, hilarious, talented, genuine.

You´re with me always. I hope to make you proud. I love you, Grammy

We grew up with our Novak cousins. Barbara always could tell a good story. I especially remember her ghost stories that she created to scare us kids.
Her sense of humor and her laughter and joy will be missed by all of us who loved her.
