Juliette A. Kozak

Juliette A. Kozak, 66, died February 22, 2024 at Resurrection Hospital in Chicago. A lifelong Chicagoan, she was loved by her family and many friends and will be remembered for her devotion to the people she loved and her kindness and generosity.
She was born to Wanda, nee Pater and Joseph Kozak on August 3, 1957. As the last of four children, she enjoyed the privileges and suffered the perceived indignities of being the youngest. She graduated from Queen of All Saints Grade School and Regina Dominican High School and attended Bradley and Loyola universities.
Her career at Red Cross and LifeSource blood banks was a good fit for someone who was compelled to make a positive difference in people's lives.
Juli enjoyed traveling. As a young woman, she backpacked for weeks throughout Europe. She also was thrilled by the lively action of Las Vegas.
Holidays were special. She loved the celebrations and the family gatherings and enjoyed dressing in style for them. (She is survived by her decades-old sequined gym shoes, which she hauled out and wore every Christmas.)
A variety of lucky pets throughout her life were the beneficiaries of her abundant affection.
Juli will be warmly remembered by her longtime partner, Richard Arnfield; sister, Louise Kozak; brother, Kenneth Kozak (Lynn Roberts); brother, Conrad (the late Charlotte) Kozak; niece, Joy (John) Koziol; niece, Ann Kozak (Norm Mason); great-nephew, Ethan Mason: and great-nieces, Amelia and Iris Mason.
Private graveside services will be held at St. Adalbert Cemetery, Niles, IL.
