 In Loving Memory of Sandra Bialczak
**December 4, 1949 — July 27, 2024**

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra Bialczak, who left us on July 27, 2024, in Elmhurst, IL. Born on December 4, 1949, in Corryton, TN, Sandra's life was a tapestry of love, adventure, and unyielding strength.

Sandra was the beloved daughter of William and Bonnie Murphy. Sandra attended Hawthorn Elementary and Lakeview High School on the Northside of Chicago where she made lifelong friends and memories.

On a beautiful September 14th, Sandra married Ken Bialczak Sr. She married her bestfriend. Their bond was complete, it had no end. Together, they built a family and a life full of cherished moments and shared dreams.

Sandra's career spanned diverse roles that showcased her strong work ethic and dedication. Last year, she celebrated her 35th anniveary at Jewel grocery store. She took pride working the deli counter, where her straightforward yet caring nature endeared her to colleagues and customers alike.

Sandra was preceded in death by her husband, Ken Bialczak Sr., her brother, Les Murphy, her stepdaughter, Linda Vance, and her granddaughter, DJ. Despite these profound losses, she remained a pillar of strength for her family.

She is survived by her loving children, Bonnie (Bryan) Lasch and Robin Bialczak (Sara Aceves); her sister-in-law, Sonya (Les) Murphy; stepchildren, Ken Bialczak Jr. (Julie) and Dan Moreno (Tara); nephews, Chris and Les Murphy; niece, Deanna Bialczak; and grandchildren, Dannielle Lasch and Morgan Bialczak. Sandra also leaves behind a number of extended family members and countless friends who will forever miss her presence.

Sandra had a zest for life that was evident in her hobbies and interests. She loved a good book, relished attending Cubs games and concerts, and embraced any adventure that came her way. She was known for speaking her mind and being straightforward, yet once you got to know her, she was kind, loving, and always willing to help.

The family will hold a funeral service to honor Sandra's life at Benson Family Funeral Home on July 31, 2024, at 4:00 PM. Those who knew Sandra are encouraged to gather and share in the love and memories she leaves behind.

Sandra Bialczak was so dearly loved and will be sadly missed. Her memory will forever be a beacon of love, kindness, and strength to all who knew her.
 

Until we meet again
May she rest in peace.
