The Death of Nancy M. Kubalanza May 19, 2022-- Part 1: Long-Time President of Fox Lake-Grant Township Area

I have been a member of the Fox Lake-Grant Township Area Historical Society for quite a few years now and during that whole time Nancy has been our president.  It sure is going to be strange to not see her at the head table running the meetings.  She passed away suddenly last month.

From the Kristan Funeral Home, Mundelein, Illinois.

NANCY M. KUBALANZA

October 29, 1941 -- May 19, 2022

She was born in Watertown New York and grew up there, graduating from high school in 1959 after being a student leader and active student.  In 1960, she met Walter Kubalanza, married the next year and celebrated their 60th anniversary last year.  They have three children and three grandchildren.

She was a fiercely dedicated mom and grandma, or "Ommie" as the kids called her.  Family came before anything else.  She nurtured, guided and supported her family her whole life.  (She also did not shy away from giving her opinion.  Often!)

Nancy and Walt moved to Fox Lake, Illinois when their children were young and she immediately became involved with her new community.
