Lorraine A. "Lori" Darguzis

Lorraine A. "Lori" Darguzis, age 83, a lifelong resident of Joliet, passed away on Friday, April 3, 2020, at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center.

Lori was born on January 7, 1937, the daughter of John A. and Josephine B. (nee Mikula) Nedlo. She graduated from Providence High School, Class of 1954, and went on to attend Saint Joseph Hospital School of Nursing, Class of 1958. She dedicated her life to the care of others; volunteering at the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic and retiring as a Registered Nurse from Our Lady of Angels in 2000 after 20 years of dedicated service. A pillar of benevolence to her community, she was a past member of the Elks Club and the Ladies Lions Club. Never one for idle hands or mind, Lori also enjoyed reading, wreath making, and crocheting scarves.

Lori is survived by her loving children, Margeurite “Peg” (David) Thomas of Algonquin, Deborah (Robert) Jennings of Joliet, David A. (Rosemary) Darguzis, Jr. of Romeoville, and Mary Mullin; grandchildren, David (Samantha) Thomas, James (Jamie) Thomas, Zachary (Lauren) Thomas, Susan (Philip) Warner, Gregory, Joseph, and Scott Jennings, Heather (David) Murphy, Dana (Mat) Peloquin, Joshua Darguzis, and Dan and Meg Marlin; great-grandchildren David III and Charles Thomas, Anthony James "AJ" Thomas, Hanna, and Cole Murphy, and Gabriella Peloquin; and her siblings, Rita Parkinson, Frank (Ann) Nedlo, Judy (Matt Ramuta) Hayner, and John (Sharon) Nedlo. She is also survived by her cherished lifelong friend, Edith (Gannon) Diechtl and many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, David; her parents; sister-in-law, Carole J. Ramanousky; and her dear aunt, Edna M. Snyder.
