Carmela Kostner Fleck (July 10, 1926 - September 11, 2020). Beloved wife of Joe Fleck, loving aunt of many nieces and nephews. The "Hat Lady" lived a full and happy life. A very interesting lady, who always drew a crowd. She traveled all over the world, spending time in Mexico every year, and loved to tell about her journeys, especially at the schools. After her retirement from AT&T (Pioneer), she enjoyed volunteering as a fund raiser for the disabled American Vets, the Burbank Marine Corp League and Hines Veterans Hospital. She enjoyed her weekly bingo games at the VFW in Oak Lawn. She appreciated the ladies from Season's Hospice for all of their assistance. She enjoyed life to it's fullest and will be missed by all who knew her. Visitation Sunday, Sept. 20th, 3-9 PM at the Palos-Gaidas Funeral Home, 11028 Southwest Hwy. (7700W) Palos Hills.
