Rochelle Singer

Yep. Still thinking of Chelle.

I first met chelle in a class in the Lifelong Learning Institute program at National University in Skokie in 2012. We had common friends in Hyde Park. I found a photo of her favorite aunt at an affair attended by mother-in-law. We participated in many LLI programs and were coordinators of a class in American Indian Studies. Who knew of our common interests and budding friendship. In June-August of 2023 her illness began to affect her speech and memory. The last time I saw her was on December 5 at an LLI gathering at the Noth Shore Senior Center - we hugged and expressed our strong feelings for each other. I didn't attend her funeral in April 2023 because of Covid. An intelligent, war, fun being who shared her strengths with many. I miss her dearly and think of her often.

I also benefited from having Rochelle Singer as a professor and as my mentor through my student teaching. She also helped me feel more comfortable as a Jewish person Barat. Though I hadn't seen her since 1991, I thought of her and her teachings often as I've progressed through my own teaching career.

I went to Barat College thanks to my mom Vivian´s friend Chelle. I also had the joy of having her as a professor. I have wonderful memories visiting their house growing up and all the fun games they had on their game closet. She left a great mark on this world. Thank you for all the love and dedication as a teacher and for teachers.

Rest in peace, dear Chelle. You won't be forgotten.

Our heartfelt condolences extended to the entire family!
She was a one of a kind lady and will be missed!

So sorry to hear of Chelle's passing. I worked with her at Barat College and always enjoyed my time with her. Sending good thoughts and prayers to the entire family at the difficult time.

You have our condolences on the loss of your mother.

Condolences to the family. I got to know Chelle through the LLI program. She was a strong leader and great strategist when we worked to transition the program from National Louis to North Shore Senior Center.
She also was very friendly and concerned about others. Her LLI colleagues will miss her.

Corri, Rob, Carrie, Meg, Emily, Tye, Skye, Jett and Echo,
I am holding you all in my heart in this time of mourning. May the love you received from Chelle be in your hearts forever and give you comfort always. Love you all, Aunt Karen.

I knew Chelle from the LLI program and I am so very sorry to learn of her death. She was a wise and calm voice in the planning and administration of classes and programs. My condolences to her family and the others who loved her.
