Betty A. Latoza
Betty Ann Latoza, 89, of New Lenox and formerly of the West Lawn area of Chicago, passed away on Saturday, May 4, 2024. Born in 1934 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, she was raised in an orphanage, while she cared for the elderly. Betty was devoted to the Catholic religion and later became a Catholic Nun.
She was an amazing seamstress and created wedding dresses and full bridal party attire without a pattern. She was a friend and caring person, who helped many and will be missed by many more. Betty would help anyone in need but would never ask for anything in return. She’d always make people laugh, while going out of her way to help others.
Betty is survived by her loving children, Ann Marie (Fred) Nagel and John J. (Julie) Latoza; cherished grandchildren, Elizabeth (financé, Trevor Hetzer) Manning, Jenifer C. Latoza, and Joseph J. (girlfriend, Pennie) Latoza. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bruno R. Latoza, and sisters, Bernice Laburda and Dolores Cardella.
She loved her family, especially her grandchildren and her beloved dog, Lady.
