Rosalie Gomez Obituary

Gomez, Rosalie Katherine (Sworowski) 68, of Westmont, IL, died June 15, 2011, surrounded with love and a peaceful environment. A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 18, 2011 at Modell Funeral Home, 7710 S. Cass Ave. Wake: 3-8pm. Memorial service: 8-9pm. Rose was born December 9, 1942, in Chicago, IL, to Anton and Sophie (Karcz) Sworowski. She loved to travel, especially to the tropics and destinations where nature thrived. Rose and Tony met at 1st National Bank of Chicago, where they both worked. They were married on September 6, 1969 at Saint Odilo Parish in Berwyn, IL. For many years she did clerical work, and eventually shifted her focus to her passion: her love of nature. Rose was a talented floral artist. She worked as a floral designer, and spent much time tending to her beautiful gardens. She was a very giving person, and had a great sense of humor. Her capacity to love and care for others was exceptional. Rose is survived by her spouse, Tony Gomez; brothers, Andy Sworowski and Jack (Susanna) Sworowski; step-daughters, Linda (Dennis) Evitts and Angelina (Kurt) Kistinger; daughters, Sarah Dykstra, Susan (Dave) Bautts and Salina Gomez; son, Dustin (Tristan) Gomez; many nieces and nephews; many grandchildren; several great grandchildren; and many loving friends. She is preceded by her father, Anton Sworowski; mother, Sophie Sworowski; and brother, Ed Sworowski.
