Timothy Ferrara Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On April 23, 2020, Tim Ferrara passed away with his wife at his side, surrounded by his family’s love. Tim is survived by his devoted wife, Jean; beloved children, Andrew (Kelly), Nick (Stanzin Pasang), Therese (Erik) Willecke, and Ben (Erin Dressel); cherished grandchildren, Sara (Matthew Grant), Joseph, Hannah, Alyssa, and Cecelia; loving mother, Sheila (the late Tom); dear siblings, Connie (Bill) Moore, Aletha (Jim) Ottlinger, Chris (Suzanne Wetterling), Carrie (Greg) VonMoser, Joe (Suzanne), and Jon; caring in-laws, Gerry (Lou O’Toole) Hillsman, Mary (Brian Weberg) Hillsman, Rich (the late Linda) Hillsman, Peter Hillsman, Steve (Kathleen) Hillsman; and numerous nieces and nephews. Tim was a lifelong Blackhawks and Cubs fan. However, his favorite competitions to watch were when his children, nieces, nephews or grandchildren were involved. Tim’s family meant everything to him. Tim worked at Allstate for nearly 25 years. Even after his retirement, he would tinker with all types of spreadsheets. Tim enjoyed fishing, playing baseball and football, and most of all spending time with his family. He had a sweet tooth that was insatiable, and almost never turned down a cookie. He was preceded in death by his father, Tom Ferrara, mother-in-law, Carole Hillsman, brother-in-law, Joel Boeche, and sister-in-law, Linda Hillsman. Special thanks to the staff at Cottages of Fox Lake and Silverado - Lake Zurich for the loving care provided to Tim. A Celebration of Tim’s Life will take place at a later date.
