Nancy J. Pasternock passed away November 12, 2022, at the age of 85. She was born June 30, 1937 in Oak Park, IL, to the late John and Jean (nee Duncan) MacGregor. She is survived by her children, Patti (Jeff) Reher, Paul (Elizabeth) Pasternock and Sandy (Dave) Koropp; grandchildren, Brian, Scott (Ashley) and Matthew Reher; Anne Marie (Joey Petrando), Michael (Molly), Katherine and Elise Pasternock; and Hannah Grace, Emma Rose and Thomas Joseph Koropp; and great-granddaughter Autumn Reher. Preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Pasternock and her brother Robert (the late Barbara) MacGregor.
Nancy was a loving daughter, sister, wife, homemaker and mother with a special talent for creating things with her heart and hands: food from the kitchen, hand-sewn and knitted treasures, every manner of art but especially watercolor and embroidery, and a delightful landscape in her yard. She had true empathy for the living world all around her, and especially her beloved dogs who pattered after her every day of her life.
A gathering to celebrate Nancy’s life will take place on the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023 in Wheaton. Arrangements by Elmhurst Community Funeral Home – The Ahlgrim Chapel. Info: 630-834-3515 or www.elmhurstfh.com.
