Mrs. Nancy L. Meccia

August 16, 1957 - June 14, 2012

Mrs. Nancy L. Meccia

Nancy L. Meccia, nee Kalachnik, 54, of Inverness, passed away peacefully in her home, June 14, after a valiant battle against cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family: Sam, husband of 32 years, and her children, Joe and Samantha. A long-time employee of the Chicago Tribune and, later, a stay-at-home mom, Nancy was a vital, outspoken woman, who journeyed through her illness with strength, dignity and grace. Her wicked sense of humor and enjoyment of a good gathering of friends and family were matched only by her passion for cooking. Nancy leaves behind a brother, Paul, and a host of relatives and friends to whom she was fiercely devoted.
