Clementine Jablonski

Clementine Jablonski, age 97, of Lindenhurst, passed away on Monday, January 6, 2020 surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on September 6, 1922 to the late Jacob and Helen Kula. In 1945, she married Richard and they were together until his passing in 1963. She retired from the Illinois Bell telephone company in 1985. Clementine led an extremely active life with a giving, passionate heart. She was a gracious, considerate, and helpful woman. Clementine was involved with the Illinois Bell Telephone Company’s The Pioneers, where she helped make teddy bears for the local police departments, participated in cleaning up Lake Michigan’s beaches for “Beach Sweep”, and held the position as Greeter, welcoming all with her warm smile. For several years, she served as a local Cancer Society Section Chairperson. Clementine also helped out with the Chain O’Lakes 4-H Club Enrollment. With her diligent effort, no child was missed. In February 1988, Clementine began her volunteer service at Victory Lakes Continuing Care Center. From assisting stylists in the Beauty Shop to offering her time in the offices, she was always smiling and faced everything with a helpful attitude. As busy as Clementine was with all her community volunteer work, her family always knew they could count on her. She enjoyed all the time she could spend with family and was always the favored baby-sitter. Her family is truly grateful and thankful that this special person was a part of their lives. They couldn’t have asked for a better role model. She is survived by her children Bruce (Nancy) Jablonski and Susan (Jeff) Barton; grandchildren Richard (Mary) Jablonski, Jennifer (Jim) Milligan, Scott (Emily) Barton, and Patrick (Jennifer) Barton; and great-grandchildren Jake, Lindsay, Samantha, Grace, Annabelle, and Elizabeth.
