Lenz passed away peacefully on October 20, 2023 at the age of 81.  Beloved wife of Les Lenz; loving mother of Brian, Shawna, Erin, John (Maria), Lori (Michael) and Marty; loving grandmother of John, Katelyn, Kristin, Nolan, Niko, Liah, Jacob, Reagan and Devin; and great grandmother of five and she will be missed by her faithful, furry friend Buddy.  She was known for her sharp wit and sarcastic personality.  She was loving and tough as nails. She worried too much  but simultaneously didn't give a damn. She wrote the cutest poems and would take you time traveling when she told a story. She loved animals with every fiber of her being ( a real life Snow White).  She was a wonderful soul and will be truly missed by her family.  Services are private.  Arrangements by Cooney Funeral Home 847-685-1002 www.cooneyfuneralhome.com
