Gloria Bazil Obituary

Bebe Bazil, 87, passed away Tuesday, October 18, 2022.  Bebe was born October 8, 1935, in Chicago, IL to her parents, Max and Esther Pieczynski. She is survived by her daughter Andrea (Frank) Lopez and her son Max (Sandy) Bazil.  Preceded in death by her loving husband, William "Bill" Bazil. Bebe and Bill came from Chicago, where they had a fondness for Chicago-style restaurants.  In 1979, they opened Bazil's, where Bebe worked relentlessly and graciously and was the matriarch of the restaurant. Bebe was a wonderful, kind human being, very giving and funny!  She had a contagious laugh and she will be missed by many! Many thanks to Fairwinds Desert Point for the excellent and loving care they gave her over the past two years.

I am saddened to hear of Bebe's passing. Her presence has been missed at Bazils over these last few years. My late husband and I enjoyed working with her and Bill at the restaurant. She was a very special lady and friend to many. Max, Sandy, Andrea and Frank, may fond memories help sustain you all through this difficult time. She will be missed.
