Featured Obituary:
Violet Caldarelli, age 103, dearly beloved wife of the late David D. Caldarelli; loving mother of David, M.D. (Janna) Caldarelli; cherished grandmother of Leslie Caldarelli, M.D. (Aleksandr Granchalek) and Adam Caldarelli (Claire Ojala, D.VM.); dear great grandmother of Nicholas, Julia and Katherine Granchalek.
Cooking was her passion and she needed a crowd. Violet Caldarelli was loving and devoted to her family, but that was not enough. She needed more people to enjoy her superb cuisine.
She made lunch and breakfast for countless Senn High School students at Harry’s School Supply Store for 13 years.

She had only cookbooks on her bookshelves and first studied at the Antoinette School of Fancy Cookery and then later with John Snowden at Dumas Père L'Ecole de la Cuisine Française and at Elaine Sherman’s The Complete Cook in Glenview.
It was at the Complete Cook that she first met Leslee Reis who ran a catering company and laterCafé Provençal in Evanston. It was Leslee who introduced Violet to Nancy Brussat of Convito Italiano.
Violet, at 65 years of age began her post retirement career of 30 years at Convito, satisfied that Nancy recognized her talent and happy that she had endless customers to feed.
