Mildred Kosinar
Age - 92
November 30, 2023
Jesus took Mildred L. Kosinar, nee Klingelschmitt, age 92, from this life on October 17, 2023. Loving mother of Mary (Brian) Wells and Lisa (Paul) Krappman, cherished grandmother of Owen Krappman and Grace Wells, loving sister of Herbert (Janice) Klingelschmitt and sister-in-law Mary Klingelschmitt, dear aunt to nieces and nephews, and cherished friend to many. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Henry of 48 years, parents Francis and Alma Klingelschmitt, siblings Joseph, Francis, Donna, and Paul (Lucille). Milly described her life as being like chapters in a book: childhood, school, work, travel, marriage, motherhood, and grandmotherhood, and in every chapter she was loving and kind. Known as the "greeting card lady" and "prayer lady", Milly inspired all of us to succeed and live fully in each of our own chapters. Faith and family came first with Milly. She was a devout Catholic who prayed the rosary daily and was known for giving holy water blessings. She loved family gatherings and time with friends, and to all was an empathetic listener of both joys and sorrows. Milly's lifelong passion was travel, discovering the joys of cruise ship travel at age 85. She loved yellow smiley faces, caramel ice cream sundaes (extra caramel, please), and most of all, being a grandma. In lieu of flowers, masses and enrollments appreciated. Or, as Milly would say, the greatest gift you can give to your family and friends is to tell them you love them. Visitation on Sunday, October 22 from 3:00 to 8:00 p. m. at Linhart Funeral Home, Berwyn. Funeral Mass on Friday, October 27 at 9:30 a. m. at St. Odilo Church, Berwyn.
