"Ann O’Neill Crago, who was born at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, IL, on May 27, 1976, spent 45 years of her precious life touching the lives of so many. And not just her family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors, but also people she didn’t know, such as telling the cashier at the local store to “have a nice day.” And always with a smile. Her star shined bright on the Chicago improv stage, always supporting her scene partners while staying grounded in her comedy. And in her married life, she always had the backs of her husband Jim and two daughters Franny and Lucy. She will never, ever be forgotten and will live in our memories forever."
