Roselyn Vasut

Roselyn was a member of Saint Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in La Grange and worked tirelessly making quilts for the Lutheran World Relief through her church. Some of the most cherished memories of Roselyn will live on through the quilts, cup towels, and embroidered gifts she made for family and friends. She also volunteered at Second Chance and cherished the friendships she formed there and was proud of the role Second Chance played in her community. Nothing brought Roselyn more joy than attending the sporting events and school programs of her grandchildren and she cherished her time reading to, swinging with, and playing with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
