Orland Park, Illinois - Jean M. Paluszkiewicz, 59, of Orland Park, IL, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 59. She was the beloved wife of Stanley Paluszkiewicz for nearly 32 years, and the cherished sister of Star LeDonne, Scott Leturno, Mark Paluszkiewicz, Theresa Paluszkiewicz, and Laura Paluszkiewicz. Jean was a favorite aunt to Michael, Lisa, Alexander, Michelle, Nicole, Robin, Elizabeth, and Richard, and a delightful great-aunt to Benjamin, Kaitlyn, Matthew, Jacquelyn, Griffin, Theodore, Madeline, and John. She was also an adored cousin, friend, and colleague to many. Jean was greeted by her loving parents Richard and Joy Leturno, mother-in-law Betty Paluszkiewicz, and sister Dawn Leturno in heaven.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 30, from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service at 1:00 p.m. at Richard J. Modell Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Homer Glen. Interment will be private.

Jean, a long-time resident of the South suburbs, graduated from North Central College. She worked diligently for School District 229 for 22 years and was eagerly anticipating her retirement, looking forward to spending more time in Las Vegas, a cherished vacation spot for her and her husband. Jean was known for making the world's greatest taco dip and for her thoughtful gift-giving. Her love and warmth were evident in how she cared for her family, friends, and colleagues. Her humor and kindness will be deeply missed at every family gathering and holiday.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Cardiovascular Program in appreciation for the outstanding care they provided to Jean.
