Wally Mroz

Wally (“Walleye”) Mroz, passed away on August 18, 2023 at 72 years young. Beloved husband
of Marianne C. Mroz (nee Barzano). Loving father of Jonathan (Jennifer), Michael (Angela), Ryan
(Lynette), and Daniel (Lisa). Beloved son of the late Alfred and Genevieve Mroz. Dear brother
to Frederick Mroz and Donna Bell (nee Mroz). Cherished papa to eight grandchildren: Sophia,
Laila, Gianna, Giovanni, Jett, Michael, Milana, and Ava. Wally started his young adult life by
serving his country in the Navy. After the military, he settled down with the love of his life,
Marianne, with whom he’d share a 50-year marriage, and started a family. Wally’s long career
as Director of Graphic Reproduction at Rush University Medical Center was decorated with
numerous accolades, including employee of the year. Wally lived his life his way- whether it was
cheering on his favorite team, the Chicago Bears, fishing many great lakes, hunting with friends,
or telling perhaps off color but hilarious jokes. He was an amazing husband, dad, papa, and
friend and dropped everything to help anyone in need. He leaves a legacy that is truly one of a
kind.
