Della was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother whose life was devoted to her family. She enjoyed working crossword puzzles (in ink), reading mystery novels, shopping and traveling. An excellent cook, she specialized in preparing traditional Lithuanian dishes in her own mothers style. Della's smile, twinkling eyes, and dimples were most captivating, and her sense of humor was unmatched. She will be dearly missed, to say the least. A special thank you is extended to everyone at Holy Family Villa in Palos Park, IL . Della's final years were enriched by the tender care she received from the aids, nurses, and all staff members.
