Delores E. "Tootie" Aaron, 96, of 1909 West St., Peru died at 12:03 p.m. Nov. 13, 2015, in Illinois Valley Community Hospital, Peru.
She was a resident of Heritage Health of Peru since May.
A Mass of Christian burial will be at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in St. Mary's Church, Peru, with Monsignor Brian Rejsek and the Rev. Gregory Jarzombek, O.S.B., officiating. Burial will be at Peru City Cemetery.
Visitation will be 3-6 p.m. Tuesday in Hurst Funeral Home, La Salle, with a rosary to be recited at 5:45 p.m.
Additional visitation will be from 9:30 a.m. until the time of services Wednesday in the church.
Delores was born March 21, 1919, in Ladd to Lawrence and Angelina (Fusinetti) Buff. She married Edward "Mook" Aaron on Dec. 13, 1941.
She was an active member of St. Mary's Church for years. Her philosophy was, "Live simple, work hard, care for others, promote the best in people, and be generous. God will do the rest." She will be remembered for baking bread and making delicious soups for family and friends. When the garden was ready, she canned and froze vegetables to be given away.
Delores is survived by her daughter, Mary (Rick) Hurst of Schaumburg. She was a cherished grandmother to Michelle (John) Sinnaeve and Megan Zito, as well as great-grandmother to Nolan, Jared and Keegan. She is also survived by one remaining sister, Denise (John) Miner of Ottawa.
She was preceded in death by her husband and six sisters Ann Herbert, Lena Buckwalter, Yolanda Ryan, Irene Wagner, Amy Schmitt [sic: Schmitz] and Loretta Stubblefield.
Pallbearers will be her grandchildren and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Illinois Valley Food Pantry.
