It is with much sadness that the family of Mary (Leidolf) Deering announces that Mary went to be with Jesus on December 6, 2025, at the age of 82.

Mary, the daughter of Nicholas and Eleanore (Bauer) Leidolf, spent most of her life in the Chicago area. She is survived by her two daughters, Lisa (Don) and Wendy (Wayne), five grandchildren (Christopher, Matthew (Karen), Deirdre, Valerie (Joshua), and Amanda, and four great-grandchildren (Broderick, Shane, Kara, and Raelynn). Mary loved spending time with her family, walking outdoors, drawing and painting. Because Mary was a very private person, she chose not to have a funeral.

In lieu of flowers, any help to the family for final arrangements would be greatly appreciated.
