Nancy Neilis Obituary
Nancy M. Neilis, age 58, of Joliet, IL departed this life Friday, March 20, 2020.
She was born August 9, 1961 to the late Marilyn (nee Schwab) and James Neilis in Joliet and was a graduate of Joliet East High School.
Surviving are her daughter, Nicole Semplinski; longtime companion and best friend, Jon Tweedt; sister, Debbie (Cliff) Spencer; her niece, Brooke (Josh) Spencer; great-nephew, Mason Spencer and several cousins.
In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her sister, Terry Rys, and brother, James "Chip" Neilis, Jr.
Nancy was an administrative assistant most of her adult years and perhaps felt most fulfilled in her recent employ at the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home as well as the team she worked with. She possessed a kind heart with a soft spot for the terminally Ill.
As it was Nancy's wish cremation rites will be accorded.

I am so sorry and sad to open up the newspaper today, and read your obituary as tears came to my eyes. We had so many good and sad times together working at the Joliet Area Hospice Home for many years.
I just called you at home only a few days ago, and left you a message saying that I hope you were okay because of this terrible virus going around. I will truly miss you and my condolences to your family and your friend, John.
