Constance Szewczyk, affectionately known by many names—Tia Sue, Connie to her friends, and Sue to her family—passed away peacefully on October 2, 2024.
Constance was a gentle and kind soul who touched the lives of everyone she met. She loved playing sports, especially racquetball and volleyball, and was an avid reader who enjoyed the challenge of puzzles—often completing 1,000-piece puzzles in a single day. She cherished riding her bike, traveling to Mexico, and, most importantly, her game and card nights, where her infectious laughter made the game of PIT unforgettable.
She is survived by her brother Marty Szewczyk and his wife Debbie and her brother David DeTomaso and his wife Connie, along with their children Joseph, James, Debbie, and Rebecca.
Constance will also be deeply missed by her lifelong friend and caretaker, Nancy Stan, as well as lifelong friends Tina Sharp and Patty Netti. She leaves behind many cousins, other family members, and great friends who cherished her presence.
Welcoming Constance into heaven are her parents and her beloved dogs, Chico, Mandy, and Charlie. She will be remembered for her love, laughter, and the warmth she brought to all.
A visitation will be held at Pedersen Ryberg Funeral Home on Tuesday, October 8, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, followed by a Mass at 10:30 AM at Queen of Heaven Catholic Church. Interment to follow at Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Hillside, IL.
