Patricia Rose (Pajkos) Granzow

July 12, 1940-October 5, 2022

Died peacefully at The Village of Victory Lakes, Lindenhurst IL. Born in Chicago, Patricia was the only child of Stephen and Florence Pajkos. In 1961, she married Raymond Granzow. She began her career as a nurse and then focused on raising her children, Kimberly and Michelle. The family made their home in Oak Forest, IL, and eventually moved to Mt. Prospect, IL.

Patricia's life involved volunteering at Holy Family Hospital, gardening, traveling, ceramics, and collecting an insane amount of cookbooks. She excelled at organizing group trips and outings for various friends and clubs. She also enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, Erica, Cassidy, and Jordan. Patricia and her husband, known to all as Pat and Ray, enjoyed spending winters at their home in Surprise, AZ, and the warmer months in Delavan, WI.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Florence and Stephen Pajkos. She is survived by her husband, Raymond, her children and sons-in-law, Kim Magon-Haller (Kurt Haller) and Michelle Turner (Derek Turner), grandchildren Erica (Wojciechowski) Nach (Steve Nach), Cassidy Magon, Jordan Magon, as well as great-grandchildren Aubree and Haylee Nach.
