Carol Kuzara Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Peterson & Patch Funeral Home on Dec. 30, 2024.
Carol Kuzara (82) Died on September 19th 2024, while in the ICU part of St. Catherine's Froedtert Hospital. Her son Steve and his wife Lydia were at her bedside at the time of her passing.
Carol Kuzara was born June 19th, 1942. Carol was a caring and loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin and grandmother. Her family meant everything to her and was always her priority.
Carol was a caregiver at heart, having taken extended care of her mother Mary, her husband Fred's mother Stella, husband Fred (Alzheimers) and was monumental with her assistance with her special needs granddaughter Danielle. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do or give to help anyone who needed it and instilled that quality in Steve.
Carol lived with her son Steve and his wife Lydia. Carol's last years were tough after losing her husband Fred (2017) and her granddaughter Danielle (2024). Carol was loved, supported and comforted during these tough times by Steve and Lydia.
Carol was a loving mother who always made sure her family was taken care of, always quick with a meal or finding time to talk. In her downtime Carol loved doing word searches and was an avid mystery fan as she would read her Agatha Christie books or watch her favorite shows with Columbo being her personal favorite. She loved listening to 70's music and Barry Manilow always brought her joy. She enjoyed her times cooking with Lydia and going shopping with Steve.
Carol is survived by her son Steve and his wife Lydia, her 2 brothers James and Paul Znoy.
Carol is preceded in death by her husband Fred Kuzara, granddaughter Danielle Lynn Kuzara, parents Mary & Frank Znoy and brothers Joseph and Frank Jr.
Mom, you are loved and will be missed more than you could ever know. You are finally at peace, and it is well deserved after the life you gave in the support of others. Now it is your time to rest and let God and his embrace make you whole again as you are welcomed into Heaven and reunited with those that left us too early. I love you.
Arrangements are under the direction of Peterson & Patch Funeral Home of Waukegan.
