Antoinette Pacholski

Antoinette Pacholski, 74, of Beecher, IL passed away Saturday February 1st, 2020 at Beecher Manor Nursing Home in Beecher. She was fondly remembered as “Dolly”, “Toni”, “Auntie Boo Boo”, “Butchie” and the two most important “Mom” and “Busia”. She was born on June 12th, 1945 on the Southeast side of Chicago to Joseph and Virginia (Lewandowski) Kaczmarz. On September 7th, 1968 she married Donald Pacholski. Antoinette is survived by her son Kevin (Kara) Pacholski of Spring Hill, TN, daughter Katie Pacholski of Beecher, brother Zachary Kaczmarz of Watersmeet, MI and two granddaughters McKenna and Brianna Pacholski. She was preceded in death by her husband and parents. Dolly was feisty, stubborn, vivacious, fun loving, caring with a heart of gold and was there for everyone. She fiercely defended those she loved. She loved hard and was extremely kind and affectionate. Toni made the best apple slices on the planet (and still owes several family members a pan for their surgeries). She was a member of the Beecher Lions Club, had volunteered at St. Michael’s School in Chicago while her kids were in school. She enjoyed crafts, antiquing, finding “treasures” and chachkies, casino trips, crocheting and reading. Her granddaughters were her pride and joy. And Christmas was her favorite holiday! Visitation will be Thursday, February 6th, 2020 at Hack-Jensen Funeral Home in Beecher, IL from 4 pm to 8 pm. The funeral mass will be on Friday, February 7th, 2020 at 11 am at St. Paul the Apostle church in Peotone, IL with a brief visitation at 10 am preceding the mass. Burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery in Calumet City. Hack-Jensen Funeral home is handling the arrangements.
