In Loving Memory of Ms. Val
Chicago, IL – July 16, 2025
With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ms. Val, a beloved member of the Chicago community, who left this world on July 16, 2025. Her departure has created a profound void in the lives of all who had the honor of knowing her, loving her, and walking beside her through the many seasons of life.
Ms. Val was more than just a name—she was a beacon of love, warmth, and resilience, someone whose presence could light up a room and whose words carried wisdom drawn from a life of perseverance, strength, and grace. Her generosity knew no limits, and her quiet acts of kindness touched the lives of many, often without fanfare or recognition. Whether it was offering a meal, a listening ear, or words of encouragement, Ms. Val lived her life with an open heart and a giving spirit.
For her family and friends, Ms. Val was a cornerstone. She offered support without hesitation, extended love without conditions, and provided comfort in times of hardship. Her laugh was infectious, her advice honest and nurturing, and her ability to make anyone feel seen and valued was a gift that will be missed more than words can convey.
Unfortunately, Ms. Val did not have life insurance, and her family is now facing the difficult challenge of covering her final expenses. As they navigate the emotional weight of grief, they are also seeking the community’s help in giving her the dignified farewell she so greatly deserves. Contributions—no matter the size—are deeply appreciated and will go directly toward the funeral and burial arrangements that will allow her loved ones to say goodbye with honor, peace, and love.
In these moments of profound loss, we call on the strength and compassion of community—those who knew her, those who may have been touched by her light, and even those who understand the depth of losing someone dear. Your support, prayers, and generosity can help ease the burden for her family as they begin to heal.
Please keep Ms. Val’s loved ones in your thoughts and hearts during this painful time. As they come to terms with this unimaginable loss, let us surround them with the same kindness and compassion that Ms. Val so freely gave to others throughout her life.
“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

Rest peacefully, Ms. Val. Your legacy of love, strength, and kindness will forever live on.
