Gloria Mottl Obituary
formerly of Berwyn, passed away early Tuesday morning, June 4, 2013.
Beloved wife of the late George Mottl; Beloved mother of the late Roy(Joy); Loving mother of Jill; Proud grandmother of Eugene(Kathryn), Clayton, Dorothea(Thomas), Robin(Michael), Heather(Allen); Dearest great grandma of Michael Roy(Brandi), Danielle, Samantha, Steven, Laura, Garrett, Dylan, Drake, Allison, Jessica, and Rachael Lou; Great great grandma to Morgan and Taylor; Fond sister-in-law of Thomas(Ann); Dear cousin of Irene(George); Cherished aunt and great aunt of many nieces and nephews.
Gloria was a life member and past queen of Jobs Daughters, Bethel #39. As a diehard Cubs fan, her zeal for the Cubs was a source of much joy. Her summers were spent with family and friends at their Michigan summer home. She also enjoyed many trips to her family's favorite fishing spot, Red Lake in Canada. As the daughter of a tailor, Gloria had a talent for handiwork. She was always busy crafting and sewing. In addition to being a mother of two, she was employed in office management and as a book keeper. Gloria and George celebrated their 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary on June 21,1991. Her knedliks (potato dumplings), baseballs (fruit dumplings), and kolackys are fabulously famous! Her recipes have been handed down with love to future generations. She was very proud of her grandchildren, delighted with how the family grew and so happy to be an integral part of their lives. Such wonderful memories. She will be truly missed, but never forgotten. We love you grama!
Cremation rites will be handled privately. She will be entombed in the DesPlaines Mausoleum of Woodlawn Cemetery surrounded by her family.

I can still remember all the times in my youth , my aunt GLORIA was a second mother to me,she always accepted me as tho I was her own flesh and blood. I do believe that many of the good things that I was taught in my life were those that Gloria taught to me because she was a kind and caring person.I would not be what I am today if my aunt GLORIA hadent been a part of the best things in my young life. My deepest condolences to her close family and my blessings to her and them with my knowing she will not be forgotten because of all of the good ways she touched so many people. I , for one can be sure she will be a part of me till my end. with my fond memories,EDWARD LOTAK
