Virginia L. Cieslak

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Virginia Lee Cieslak, who departed this life unexpectedly on May 26, 2023. Virginia was a devoted wife to her husband, James Cieslak, and a loving mother to her daughter, Jennifer Aubry, and son-in-law, Darren Boyd. She was a doting grandmother to Liam Boyd (19 months old). She was a cherished sister to Mary Scaletta and her brother-in-law Michael Scaletta, She also loved her nephew Nicholas Scaletta and his wife Carmela Scaletta dearly. Born on October 30, 1946, in Chicago, Illinois, Virginia was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary Triolo. She received her primary education from St. Priscilla Elementary School and later graduated from Steinmetz High School. She had a successful career as an executive assistant and office manager at both Sears Corporation and Motorola where formed many close friendships. Her hard work, dedication, and meticulous organization were admired by her colleagues and peers. Virginia was a woman of great character, strength, and grace. Her intelligence, easy laugh, and thoughtfulness will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
Virginia was a lover of all animals, specifically dogs and horses and found great joy in spending time with them. She also learned about automotive mechanics at an early age
and could tell you about everything under a car hood.
A visitation will be held on Friday, June 2, 2023, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Salerno’s Rosedale Chapel.
We mourn the loss of Virginia Cieslak, a woman who touched the lives of all who knew her. May her soul find eternal rest, and may her memory be a source of comfort and strength to her family and friends during this difficult time.
