Mildred Hosty (nee Puscizna), 95, longtime resident of Palos Heights, was reunited with her beloved Ed (“Bud”) on Oct. 17, 2022. “Millie” was a proud and devoted mother of five: Deirdre (Ed), the late Edward (Erin), Patricia (James), Kevin (Mary), and James (Margaret). Millie’s three siblings preceded her in death.

In their 60 years of marriage, Millie and “Bud” built a family tree that grew to 18 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. She was adored by her grandchildren James (Andrea), Lauren, Jim (Sandra), Meghan, Eric (Melanie), Jenny (Nick), Tommy, Hannah, Bridget (Bobby), Brian (Colleen), Gretchen (Steve), Eddie, Paula, Colleen, Kathleen, Ray, Shannon, and Patti. Treasured great-granny to Madelyn, Bobby, Brayden, Logan, Isabella, Kyle, Cecilia, Hunter, Lucas, Jackson, Callen, Sawyer, Elliot, Miles, Quinn, Johanna, Matthew, Mary, Brendan and Jack.

Millie was an avid golfer and Las Vegas enthusiast. She was quick to talk you into a game of dice or cards, and sly enough to convince you she hadn’t cheated, you just didn’t know the rules. She had a sharp sense of personal style and a flair for home decorating. She loved a good road trip, and most animals, especially horses, dogs, and chickens. Stubborn and feisty, she did things her way until the very end.
