Joliet Woman 'The Best Mother And A Great Human Being,' Family Says
Patch and T-Mobile are partnering to shine a light on awesome moms in the Joliet area. Meet Lidia Ortiz of Joliet!

JOLIET, IL— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!
Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.
This submission comes from Suzy Montoya, who nominated Lidia Ortiz of Joliet.
What makes your Mom extra special?
She is the most kind person I ever known, always helping those who need help, not only in our family, other people outside the family as well. She is the foundation of our family, the best mother and a great human being.
Why do you feel your Mom deserves the spotlight?
She is simply the best mom and grandma! She deserves recognition, she always keeps going forward and never gives up, loves to help and sees the best in people.
Happy Mother's Day to Lidia Ortiz, and thank you for all you do!
