In Memoriam
Alan J. Feder
Alan J. Feder, 86, formerly of Highland
Park, died Aug. 10. He is survived by his
beloved wife, Barbara; children, Robin,
Richard (Jennifer), and Susan (Clayton);
grandchildren, Laura, Olivia, Joshua and
Matthew; many nieces and nephews; sister,
Janice Rodheim.
Caroline Kelly
Caroline Anne Kelly (nee Freberg), 57,
formerly of Highland Park, died . Daughter
of Joyce and the late Harold Freberg,
loving wife of Colon Kelly, proud mother
of Alexandria and Hanna Woodside, sister
of Kathryn, Mark, Scott, Timothy and David
Freberg, and beloved by her nieces and
nephews, aunts and uncles, in laws, cousins,
godchildren and friends passed away
peacefully surrounded by loved ones,
wrapped in song, storytelling, and love on
Aug. 14, 2018.
She was born and raised in Highland
Park. She graduated from Western Illinois
University with a bachelors of the arts in
industrial design. She raised her daughters
in and around Chicago near her favorite
place in the world: Lake Michigan. Before
spending the last four years in New Hope,
Pa., she was a successful marketing manager
for a large manufacturing company.
Kelly found the most joy in playing at
the beach, spending time with her family
and friends, and listening and dancing to
music. Always the life of the party (which
she was often hosting), she was an authentic,
vibrant woman who people were naturally
drawn to because of her warm, positive,
and giving heart. She was hilarious
- seriously. And she was fun. Kelly loved
the outdoors. She loved walking, biking,
swimming in the ocean, and soaking up the
sun. Her creativity was endless and shined
in everything she did. Of all her talents and
passions, she was most proud of being a
wonderful mother.
Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. to
11:00 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25 followed
by a memorial service at Kelley & Spalding
Funeral Home, 1787 Deerfield Road,
