Helena Batkiewicz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ryan-Parke Funeral Home - Park Ridge on Jan. 20, 2026.
Helena Batkiewicz, née Strczek, of Park Ridge, Illinois, passed away on December 14, 2025, at the age of 69, surrounded by her loving family.
Born November 2,1956 in Poland to Bronislaw and Zofia Strczek. Helena was a hard-working woman who gave generously of herself to family and friends. Her grandchildren were her life, and nothing brought her more joy than time spent with them. She especially loved the holidays, with Christmas holding a special place in her heart. She delighted in decorating and creating a warm, festive home where everyone felt welcome.
She was a loving mother to Kazimierz Stanislaw (Janina) Lukaszczyk, Andrew (Amanda) Lukaszczyk, Rock Chris Hoksila, and Anna (Ronald) Turcich; proud grandmother to Katazyna and David Lukaszczyk, and Ronald John and Madelyn Turcich.
Helena was a dear sister to Anna (Randal) Kobus and Stanislawa (Andrzej) Walkosz, and the late Janina (Stanislaw) Babiarz. She was a devoted daughter of the late Bronislaw and Zofia Strczek.
Her kindness, work ethic, and devotion to family will be remembered always.
