Nadia (Snatenchuk) Lachowski's Obituary
Nadia (Snatenchuk) Lachowski was born in Garland, Manitoba, Canada on August 19, 1932.
She was the daughter of Dmetro Snatenchuk and Mary (Mandryk) Snatenchuk and the older sister of Sylvia (Sally) (Snatenchuk) Kowalski.
The Snatenchuk family lived on a farm where all work was done manually. In an effort to give his family a better life, Dmetro moved his family to Chicago, IL in the early 1940's.
Nadia and Sylvia attended Schurz High School in Chicago where both excelled in their studies. Nadia then graduated from Northwestern Business College where she was later employed as a teacher at the College. There, Nadia met and taught her future husband, Chester Lachowski. Nadia and Chester were married on June 13, 1953 at St. Sylvester's Church in Chicago.
Nadia went on to work at various companies; Florsheim Shoes, Club Aluminum and Sears, until the birth of her first child, Melanie. Fourteen months later, her second daughter, Sherry, was born.
After years of raising her daughters, Nadia returned to the workforce where she was employed at Schnadig Corporation, a major furniture manufacturer. Nadia was a Cost Accountant at the home office for more than 25 years and eventually retired.
In 2001, Nadia and her sister Sylvia, moved to DeKalb to be near Nadia's daughter, Sherry. Nadia lived many years in DeKalb enjoying her retired life with her sister, both widows.
Nadia made many friendships as a member of The Catholic Daughters and with many other women in the DeKalb area. She looked forward to spending time with the ladies and truly enjoyed their company.
On November 16, 2022, Nadia passed away after suffering major injuries from a fall in her home. She was 90 years old.
Arrangements were completed by the Butala Funeral Home and Crematory in Sycamore, IL.
