Featured Obituary:
Shirley Ellis Mosky, age 92, passed away peacefully of natural causes at her residence in Northbrook, Illinois on December 16, 2019. Born April 1, 1927 in Chicago to Peter Paul Ellis and Rachel Glick, she displayed artistic talent from a young age. At 13, Shirley met the love of her life, Herbert Mosky, at Woodlawn Hall, a Chicago Home for Jewish Orphans, where they spent their teenage years. A decorated Marine, Herb was determined to survive World War II so he could return home to marry “the only girl” for him. Shirley was awarded a scholarship at the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied, taught and pursued art. Shirley and Herbie were a committed team in raising their four children and running a successful retail business and realestate ventures. Famous for creating intricate and colorful Easter baskets, she loved the accolades she received for her culinary and hospitality talents — and cherished doing art projects with her grandchildren. To further their educations and careers, Herb and Shirley spent time in Chicago; Washington, DC; Tucson, Arizona; and Joliet, Illinois. Their final move in 1967 was to Glenview, Illinois where they spent the remainder of their years together. After 67 years of marriage, Herb preceded Shirley in death in 2013. Although Shirley’s heart was broken after losing Herb, she was fortified by the love and support of her family, taking vacations and cruises with her daughter, Sherie, and continuing her artistic endeavors.Read more from Weinstein & Piser Funeral Home »
