Barbara Czerniak Obituary

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I would like to pass along my sympathy to Barb's family. She was the best! I always referred to her as "The Woman that ran McCormick Place" or "The brains of the outfit." She was a special person with that infectious smile. She will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear that Barbara Czerniak had passed away and just found out on 10/10/11 at the retired McCormick Place employees breakfast.She was a wonderful person and enjoyed her friendship very much.My Father (Frank Nicosia Sr.)introduced me to Barbara in the early 1970's and she always took the time out of her busy day to say hello and assist you if needed.Rest in Peace.Frank Nicosia Jr.

I enjoyed traveling with Barbara to the Abbey for the Polka weekend trips. She was a great person to be around and her laughter filled a room with happiness. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Barbara and enjoy that music in Heaven.

To Phil and the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Barb was the heart and sole of the office at McCormick Place for a long time, and always gracious and friendly.

To Phil & family,
Sorry for your loss, Barb was always
willing to help anyone. She will be missed. Doug Ashby & family

Barb was a sweetheart! I was her hairdresser for many years & always looked forward to seeing her, I enjoyed her great sense of humor & her laugh was contageous! Rest in Peace Friend.

What I remember most about Barbara was her ability to get you to the General Manager of McCormick Place - or just get your questions answered. (She often knew what was going on first!) She also knew and had great relationships with all of the big convention customers of McCormick Place and was a part of keeping them happy. She was truly one of the unsung Chicago Ambassadors this City is so fortunate to have.

I will always remember Barb and her laugh. Barb was a wonderful person always willing to give of her time and talent. You will be missed Barb. Rest in peace.

I remember Barb from my years at McCormick Place, she was a very nice person.

It was such a pleasure praying and working with Barb. She was of great assistance to me when I worked as Choir Director at St. Barbara, always there to lend a helping hand, give an encouraging word, but most of all just to smile and brighten up a room. Barb will be missed deeply. Peace, Grace and Love to her family, friends and St. Barbara Family.

You were the best, someone I could talk to at any time. You were all ways willing to give me a minute. You will be missed.

I will always remember her with a smile. Rest In Peace.
