Lila Grejcarowski

Lila Esther Grejcarowski, 78, of Rockford, passed away on January 23, 2022, at Serenity Home in Oregon after her battle with cancer.  Born March 25, 1943, in Uruguay; the daughter of Basilo and Maria (Junek) Grejcarowski. When Lila came over to the United States she got her bookkeeping certificate in 1962 and gained her citizenship on September 24, 1987.  Lila worked at Swedish American Hospital for over 35 years and 20 of that was on the 9th floor as a Patient Care Technician. Being able to speak 9 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Italian) Lila was often asked to translate for the doctors and nurses throughout the hospital, which she enjoyed so much.  Lila liked exploring different cultures.  She was always seeking out new churches and was recently baptized at Hi is Iglesia Pentecostal Unida Renacer.
Tammy Broughton(caregiver) would like to thank all of Lilas close friends that helped keep her at home- Mildred Clemente, Daisy Gonzales, Gloria Giraldo, Diane Parnell and Don Palmer.  A special thank you to Pastor Miguel with Hi is Iglesia Pentecostal Unida Renacer for his compassion and spiritual care. Another special thank you to Dr Peter Nuttleman for his support and visits made to Lila.  Lila was predeceased by her son Arthur Ascue and her parents Basilo and Maria Grejcarowski.
There will be a Celebration of Life announced later in the spring.
