Betty Ann Mihalo, age 77, of Round Lake, passed away, Tuesday, January 31, 2017, at Centegra Hospital-McHenry, surrounded by her loving family. She was born June 30, 1939 in Chicago to Frank and Loretta (Wasik) Kumor.

While coming of age in Chicago, Betty met and married Chester Mihalo. Eventually, the young couple and some of their friends relocated to the Round Lake area, where they built their homes. Betty was an avid reader, and finished a book a day at times. She had a great love of her independence, chocolate, and most of all Bingo. Among other hobbies, she enjoyed taking care of her house plants and flowers. Betty was famous for her “golumpkies”, and was always asked to bring them to social gatherings. Her family always came first, she was a loving mother, caring grandmother, and great-grandmother, who will always be in their hearts.

Betty is survived by her children, Mark (Yolanda) Mihalo, Mickey (Brian) Calloway, Gina (Mike) Schauf, Linda (Tony) Smith; nine grandchildren, Sara Mihalo, Zachary and Cheyenne Calloway, Brent (Nichole Boivin) Schauf, Stefanie (Lance) Lannoye, Mark Smith-Rodgers, Ryan, Tyler, and Wyatt Smith; three great-grandchildren, Bradley, Kaleb, Kipton; and her brother Bob Kumor.

In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her husband Chester.
