With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Joanne Dempski Boggs, age 90. She passed away on October 31, 2021 surrounded by beloved family members. She was born January 25, 1931 to Frank & Eleanor Monczynski Dempski of North Chicago, IL. She went to Holy Rosary School & Church in North Chicago, then to Waukegan East High School. Joanne went into the Registered Nursing program at St Therese Hospital, where she stayed until she received early retirement at age 55. Afterwards in 1985 she moved to Youngtown, AZ & loved it!
She had a special 'Angel Heart' touch with not only the patients & their families at the hospital, but with about anyone she met & helped. Each year she enjoyed gardening & planting flowers plus.
