Clara "Bunny" Szmergalski

June 14, 1926 - December 9, 2014

Clara “Bunny” Szmergalski, 88, a long time resident of Antioch, IL, passed away on Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Bunny worked for many years as a doll maker. She and her husband George would take their motor home on the road several times a year to attend doll shows all over the country. Bunny and George reminded their friends of a comedy team with George having the TV up loud so he could hear what was happening on his wrestling or The Price Is Right. But when he was napping or gone you could usually find Bunny watching the HSN. Bunny was always enthusiastic about celebrating her birthday with a special order cake topped with whipped cream and strawberries. Bunny was a great lady and will be missed by those whose lives she touched. “It’s time to go see George now. He’s waiting for you, Bun. We’ll miss you but George needs you now.” She is survived by her dear friends Cindy, Dale, Joshua, Dale Jr., and Shelby Erickson. She was preceded in death by her husband George. Memorial visitation will be from 10 - 11 a.m. on Thursday, December 18, 2014 at Ringa Funeral Home, 122 S. Milwaukee Ave (Rte 83) Lake Villa, IL 60046. A memorial service will begin at 11 a.m. at the funeral home.
