LILJEGREN Rosemary A. Liljegren, 94, passed away April 28, 2015, at Good Samaritan Downers Grove, IL. Arrangements by Adams Winterfield Sullivan, and friends. Having a flare for fashion, and despite a tight budget, Flo was a model of good taste in attire and decorum throughout her life- her closets overflowing with fashionable clothes and jewelry. Flo loved children.

She spent many "vacations" helping in the homes of newborn nephewsnieces, all of whom remember her fondly. She enjoyed animals, especially the days with her beloved dog "Tinkerbelle" and was quick to agree to care for pets when owners were away from home. She was an election judge for the City of Chicago and supported many local businesses including the Lithuanian Bakery and the historic tavern, the Midget Club. In 1996 she retired and moved to the Immanuel Senior Residence in Downers Grove to be closer to her family. For 12 years she was responsible for the Catholic Communion Ministry at Immanuel Residence and participated in many activities including Bingo and the Annual Bazaar.

She was a member of St Nicholas of Tolentine for many years, and later joined St Joseph Parish when she moved to Downers Grove. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 9th at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Downers Grove followed by an interment service at St. Mary Cemetery in Evergreen Park.
