Dolores Anne Penkala
Was a lifelong Chicagoan and Democrat, a proud Polish-American and feminist, and a quintessential Aries. She was the devoted daughter of Anne Kowalski and Edward Penkala,
and doting big sister of Mary Penkala Schoen, all of whom she now joins in eternal rest. Born on Noble Street in 1932, Dolores graduated from St. Stanislaus High School (1949)
and Mundelein College (1953, B.S. Chemistry). She campaigned tirelessly for JFK and for Paul Simon. She worked well into her seventies as a legal secretary. She loved many
dogs including Tama, Sandy, Trixie, Leo, and Bella. Survived by her fond brother-in-law, Alan Schoen, her beloved cousin Marvin Rawski, and her nieces Cecily (Greg) Sheppard
and Valerie (Ken Swiatkowski) Schoen, who will ever remember our childhood overnights in Rogers Park with the most understanding, fierce, and loving "Ciocia" a girl could
have asked for.

She died peacefully on January 15th; like her mother before her, Dolores chose to make an anatomical gift of her body to medical science. A memorial Mass will be held by
the family at St. John Cantius Church in Spring, with details pending.
