Laura A. Sujak
Laura Ann (Reilly) Sujak beloved wife, sister, daughter, and friend was unexpectedly called home on December 30, 2023. In celebration of Laura’s life, family and friends may visit from 12pm to 5pm on Saturday January 6, 2024, at Willow Funeral Home & Cremation Care, 1415 W. Algonquin Rd., (one half mile east of Randall Rd.), Algonquin, Illinois where there will be a blessing at 3pm. An additional celebration of life will be held in Dubuque, Iowa at a later date.
She was born in Dubuque, Iowa on July 6, 1968, the loving daughter of James P. and Kathleen (Cook) Reilly. Laura attended Resurrection Elementary and graduated from Hempstead High School in 1986, both in Dubuque, Iowa. She furthered her education and graduated from Hawkeye Community College to become a Registered Dental Hygienist. A dream she always followed. She married the love of her life Daniel Sujak on her favorite day of the year July 6th in 2014 which also happened to be her birthday.
As a member of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association, she received many awards throughout her career. Her most accomplished reward was reaching Mastery Level in the Hygiene Director’s Club that she worked hard for and won every year. Laura loved working at Advanced Dentistry where she considered her co-workers and patients as family.
She was the most genuine, kindhearted, compassionate woman with a heart of gold that would help anyone in need without asking for anything in return. Laura had the most beautiful sparkling blue eyes, as bright as the skies above, and a smile that would light up any room. She loved unconditionally, always knew the right thing to say and was your number one fan and supporter. She loved singing karaoke, shopping, traveling, hot tubbing, spending time with family and friends and of course her “Chichi’s”.
Those left to carry on her memory are her loving husband, Daniel R. Sujak; her father, James P. Reilly; her brothers, Kevin Reilly, and James (Grace) Reilly; her goddaughter, Jenna Mauer and best friend, Lisa (Shurts) Mueller. She is also survived by her many loved nieces and nephews, great-nieces, and great nephews and her beloved “fur babies” Cortez & Remi.
Laura was preceded in death by her loving mother, Kathleen (Kay) Reilly; grandparents James and Lucille Cook and Ray and Monica Reilly; mother-in-law Mary Sujak and father-in-law Edmund Sujak.
