In Loving Memory of Ursula "Monica" Shetsky 1933 – 2025 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Ursula "Monica" Shetsky, who passed away peacefully on May 26, 2025. Born in Germany in 1933, Monica grew up during the difficult years of World War II – an experience that shaped her strength, deep sense of resilience and faith.
Monica later built her life in the United States, where she worked for many years at the National Livestock and Meat Board in Chicago before retiring. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, who centered her life around her family.
Monica was married for 43 years to her beloved husband, Bernard "Bob" Shetsky, who passed away in 1999. Together, they raised five children, who were the heart of their world: Carmen Elleston, David (Marsha) Shetsky, Michael (Christi) Shetsky, Steven (April) Shetsky, Jennifer (Rob) Bahna.
Monica will also be lovingly remembered by her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were a constant source of joy in her life.
Monica's warmth and creativity touched everyone around her. She had a passion for arts and crafts, and her hands were always busy creating beautiful things. She loved to cook for her family, filling her home with the delicious smells of her famous cookies and toffee. Her kitchen was a place where memories were made, and she took pride in bringing people together over meals and sweet treats.
Services will be held to honor Monica's life and memory on Friday, May 30th, 2025. CrossView Church, 750 Highview Drive, Antioch, IL 60002. (847) 395-4117
Visitation: 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.
Service: 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Following the service there will be a private family inurnment at Randhill Park Cemetery, 1700 W. Rand Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60004.
Monica will be forever remembered for her beautiful smile, kindness, strength, creativity, faith and love of family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
