Janis Rose Sklare

Janis Rose Sklare, age 63, beloved wife for almost 10 years of Arnold "Arnie" Rubens; loving mother of Molly Sklare; dear stepmother of Aaron (Megan) Rubens, Leslie (Sebastian) Stevens and Andrea (Sam) Sheahan; adored grandmother of Avery Rubens; devoted daughter of the late Yadelle and the late Robert Sklare; cherished sister of Tamara (Dr. Jack) Faintuck and Ronald (Leah) Sklare; treasured aunt of 8, great aunt of 4 and special friend to many. Janis was a toddler & preschool teacher with the Mad Science Enrichment Program and was a volunteer with the Illinois Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for many years. Janis was known for her kind and gentle heart. She encouraged and inspired others to meet their full potential, but at the same time, was very modest and private when it came to her personal and professional accomplishments. Janis will be so dearly missed by all who were elevated by her compassion and genuine care.
