Obituary

Fran Wollack, age 99, was born four years before women were granted the right to vote. Beloved wife of the late Seymour. Loving mother of Claudia (Gerry) Linda and Kenneth (Leslie) Wollack. Devoted Nana of Jonathan (Rachel) Rezny, Lauren Wollack (Courtney Paul), Jessica (Kirk) Hovde and Alison Wollack. Adoring Nana of great grandchildren Ella, Claire and Sydney Rezny, Cooper Paul and Gabe Hovde. Fran was a proud feminist and supporter of Jewish organizations and causes. During World War II, she worked the “grave yard” shift, inspecting aircraft engines at Chicago’s Studebaker plant. After 43 years as a homemaker, she began a career outside the home, founding the Northbrook Datelines, and, after it was bought by the Pioneer Press, took the role of Promotion Director/Advertising Manager. When Pioneer was acquired by Time, Inc., Fran became one of its first women executives. Subsequently, she opened the Fran Wollack and Associates advertising agency. At the same time, she rose in the ranks of the Jewish Federation, serving as the first woman Chair of the Communications Division. Fran was a long-time member of Congregation Solel. She and her late husband were avid golfers and gardeners and were active in Democratic politics. Contributions may be made to the Jewish United Fund (juf.org), to Congregation Solel, Highland Park, IL., or to the Hillary Victory Fund. Private family services have been held.
