LilyRae Serletic Obituary
LilyRae was born in Chicago, Illinois on May 11, 1938 to the late Glen and Lily (Ryder) Hazzard. She graduated from Chicago Vocational School where she was a Pom Pom Girl, the senior class treasurer and served on the student council. LilyRae lived on the south side of Chicago for most of her life. She was a talented golfer, playing alongside her husband and in multiple leagues. She was also an avid football fan. LilyRae was very patriotic and was a woman of deep Christian faith. Above all else, she was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Family was everything to her and she spent her entire life serving and doting over them, especially most recently her great-grandson, Elliott.
LilyRae is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Richard Thomas Serletic; daughter, Teri Hendricks (Scott); sons, Dr. Dean Serletic (Deborah) and Dr. Darin Serletic (Lisa); brothers, Robert Hazzard and Ray Hazzard (Thelma); grandchildren, Keely and Shaye Hendricks, Grant Serletic, Marisa Serletic, Briley Serletic, PT and Cade Serletic; and by her great-grandson, Elliott Wells.
LilyRae was preceded in death by her parents; and by her sister-in-law, Sharon.
A celebration of LilyRae's life will be held at a later date.
