Pamela Kaczmarski Obituary

Kaczmarski, Pamela Susan

Pamela Susan Kaczmarski, 75, of Chicago, IL, passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025, with family and friends by her side. Pamela was the loving wife of Robert Lee Kaczmarski for 54 years, loving sister to Rosemary and her late husband John Brocato, Christine and husband Al Ozyp, and William and his late wife Ludvina Clifford. Cherished mother to Robert W. Kaczmarski and wife Meaghan and Ryan Kaczmarski and wife Katie. Devoted Grandmother to Riley and Jackson Kaczmarski, Christian, Wyatt, and Evan Gustavus. Pamela was the fond aunt of Melissa and husband Kyle Lubash, Tony and wife Nicole Brocato, Jacek Ozyp, Sandra Kaczmarski, Lorri Kaczmarski, Kellie and her husband Dan Switalla, Katie and her husband Nico Porreco, Kevin Kaczmarski, Tyler Kaczmarski, and Nathan Kaczmarski. Pamela found great joy in watching her sons and grandchildren play sports, proudly cheering them on at every opportunity. She enjoyed bowling and lively games of pinochle, as well as spending time in the kitchen baking her beloved chocolate chip cookies. Dancing and creating arts and crafts brought her happiness, and she was an avid collector of angels, a reflection of her gentle spirit and love for beauty. She found her greatest accomplishment in being a devoted stay-at-home mother to her two wonderful children, and a loving supportive wife to her husband. With patience, love, and quiet strength, she created a home filled with warmth, stability, and encouragement. Every day, she poured herself into nurturing their hearts, celebrating their milestones, and guiding them with kindness. Pamela's legacy lives on in the values, compassion, and resilience she instilled in her children. Family and friends will gather Tuesday, December 30th from 1-5pm at Olson Burke Sullivan Funeral and Cremation Center, 6471 N. Northwest Hwy., in Chicago, 60631.
