Isabelle D. Yunowich

September 1, 1918 - May 8, 2015

Isabelle D. Yunowich, age 96, of Spring Grove, IL, passed away Friday, May 8, 2015 while in the company of family members, at her home. She was born in Stevens Point, WI on September 1, 1918, a daughter of the late Matthew and Martha (Chileski) Wilkowski. Isabelle was married to Edward Yunowich on September 22, 1939 in Chicago and he died March 2, 1974. She and her husband owned and operated Isabelle's Restaurant in Richmond for 40 years, retiring in 1976. She was a former member of the McHenry County Tavern Keepers Assoc. Isabelle is survived by two daughters, Bonnie (Lester) Pryor, of Spring Grove, IL; Isabel "Darlene" Ryan, of Antioch; two grandchildren Anthony (Jenny) Pryor and Tara (Michael) Epping, and six great grandchildren Nathan and Lauren Pryor, Trevor, Tayler, Ashley and Jared Epping. Her happiest moments were spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, playing games, dressing up, and sometimes just talking with them. She also loved the occasional trip to a nearby casino. Somehow, that big jackpot always eluded her. She loved her family, life in general, and the occasional scotch and soda. She was preceded by five sisters Jean Goodman, Marie Litwitz, Clara DeZanet, Agnes Flentze and Sophie Wilcoski and by five brothers Steven, Emil, Leo, Herman and Robert. Private family services will be held at a later date.
