In Memoriam
Isabelle Sanders
Isabelle Rose Sanders nee:
Acello age 96 of Deerfield
passed away on Tuesday, February
12, 2019 at Highland Park
Hospital. She was born May 27,
1922 in Highwood, Illinois to
the union of Frank and Raffaela
(Perrone) Acello. A lifelong area
resident she was a member of
Immaculate Conception Church,
Highland Park, Immaculate Conception
Church Women’s Club,
lifetime member of the Emblem
Club and was a avid bowler.
Survivors include a son Robert
(Linda) Sanders of Ingelside,
two grandchildren Devin (Lisa)
Sanders of Deerfield and Ashley
Sanders of Highland Park. Two
great grandchildren Ella and
Lucas Sanders of Deerfield.
She is preceded in death by
her brothers Michael and Cataldo
“Tally” Acello and a sister
Theresa Johnson.
Ruth Mary Farnham
Ruth Mary Farnham was born
in Normal, Illinois to Everett
(1860-1950) and Leota Farnham
(1890-1984). She was the eldest
of five children. Her brothers Everett
and William and sister Betty
preceded her in death. She is survived
by her sister Joan Buell of
Grants Pass, Oregon. She is also
survived by her son Roger (Terry)
of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
son Gordon (Erin) of Glenview,
Illinois, and grandchildren
Erica Martinez (Brian) and Jack,
Evelyn, and Mara Kapes. Her
son Russell passed away in 2014.
She graduated from the University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign,
in 1943. Soon after WWII
ended she moved to Chicago to
work in the admissions office
of the newly created University
of Illinois, Chicago campus at
Navy Pier. Through a mutual
friend she met her husband Jack.
Not the sort for making a fuss,
they started their wedding day at
the bank to cash a check and then
headed to city hall for a simple
ceremony. This was followed by
lunch with several friends and
then a return to their respective
jobs. While their start was modest,
the match worked and they
remained married until Jack’s
death in January of 1991.
In the early 1950’s they built
a modest house on a big lot in
Highland Park, Illinois where
they raised three sons. A love of
travel took them east, west, north
and south. This included several
memorable winter vacations in
the family Chevy heading to
Acapulco, Mexico! Ruth worked
full-time for her son Gordon
from 1983 until 2015, driving
to and from work until she
was 97. In 2008 she left her beloved
house and moved to Three
Crowns Park in Evanston, Illinois.
While not initially excited
about her move, after a brief time
she learned to enjoy her large
and bright apartment, established
friendships with her new
neighbors, and valued the many
compassionate staff members.
She was a fixture in the Three
Crowns pub, enjoying a daily
glass of wine before moving on
to dinner with friends. The longer
she lived at Three Crowns
the more active she became.
There was hardly a committee
that didn’t have her name on the
roster. She lived independently
and with gusto until a hip break
on Christmas Eve day. Not one to
ever complain, her final goal was
just to get back to her activities
and enjoy life. While her body
may have failed, her spirit never
did.
She was an elegant, ageless,
and accomplished woman who
always encouraged others to
better themselves. Ruth love to
sew, cook, read, listen to music,
attend events, and surround herself
with interesting people, good
food, and beautiful things. A role
model for living life to its fullest,
she will be sorely missed by her
family and friends.
Donations in her memory can
be made to Prairie Scholarship,
Heartland Community College,
1500 Raab Rd., Normal,
IL 61781. For info please contact
Kelley & Spalding Funeral
Home at 847-831-4260.
James P McCarthy
James Patrick McCarthy, 89,
of Highland Park, passed away
peacefully on Wednesday, February
6, 2019. Beloved loving
husband of 64 years to Louise
(nee Santi) McCarthy; loving
father of Shawn (Mary) Mc-
Carthy; cherished grandfather
of Dr. Shannon McCarthy (Jeff
Rehm) and Michael Roshetski;
dear brother of Mary Ann (Arthur
Bilek) Greco, brother-in-law
of Marco (Doris) Santi, and devoted
uncle and friend to many.
James (Jim) was born in Evanston,
Illinois on March 30, 1929
to Charles McCarthy and Marie
Greenslade. Jim a Marine Corp
veteran of the Korean War, recipient
of the Purple Heart. Soon
after his return, he married Louise
Santi of Highland Park and
they were happily married for 64
years.
A retiree of Sears after 34
years of service. Also known as
Coach, Jim coached basketball at
Immaculate Conception school
from 1967 until 1977. His love
for golf was unending and he
continued to play and work at
the Highland Park golf range for
over twenty years.
Jim was a diehard Green Bay
Packer and White Sox fan and
stood strong against all of his
Bear and Cub relatives. He was
the proud partial owner of the
Green Bay Packers and held his
season tickets since 1959. He
will be missed every season at
the annual gathering where the
Chicago relatives would call a
truce to watch the Packer versus
the Bears game.
For 44 years he committed
himself to his sobriety and
at helping others achieve and
continue their sobriety. Many
people have relied on his help
and strength through their own
journey.
He was surrounded by family,
grandkids, nieces, nephews,
great-nieces, great-nephews and
friends too numerous to list. In
life he was physically strong, tall
man, knick-named “Baroccio”
but to most of us he was Dad,
Uncle Jim, Coach, or Mac.
