Carol Cecchin Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hallowell & James Funeral Home - Countryside on Dec. 3, 2025.
Carol Cecchin (nee Keeffe) age 91 of La Grange left us for her journey beyond this life. Her final hours were spent in peace with her family. She is survived by her beloved husband of 71 years, John Cecchin, her devoted daughters Jeanne (Michael) Fec, Nancy Cecchin and Kathleen Cecchin, and her especially loved granddaughters Alanna Gabriele and Alexis Fec. Carol is the cherished aunt, great aunt and great-great aunt of many nieces and nephews.

Carol raised her three daughters in the 1950's and 60's to be independent, to use their intelligence and to look for challenges in school and careers. She loved maps, planning and taking road trips, and spending memorable Christmas holidays in Palm Springs.
