Charles Devilbiss

Charles Edward “Chuck” DeVilbiss, age 84, of Bloomingdale, passed away on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. He was born July 2, 1937 in Quincy, IL to Henry and Cornelia DeVilbiss.
Chuck is survived by his wife Kathleen, six daughters: Julie (Jason), Kellie (Craig), Cindie (Eli), Laurie (Sean), Katie (Danny) and Michele (Erik); 11 grandchildren: Caroline, Charlie & Patrick Flood, Jordan, Zach and Jack Mann, Aidan and Hannah Logan, Shane Giblin and Payton and Sydney Wasserman, as well as a large extended family and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and sisters Mildred "Mitzi" DeVilbiss, Phylis DeVilbiss, Mary (Wayne) Pierce, Rita (Norbert) Cramsey.

Chuck grew up in Quincy and attended Quincy Notre Dame High School where he was a
member of the basketball team. Following high school, he joined the military and served in the Marine Corp from 1956 to 1958. After his military service, Chuck moved to Chicago with his sisters, Mitzi and Phylis. That’s where he met Kathleen and they began their life together.

Chuck earned his bachelor’s degree from Illinois Institute of Technology. He was a devoted member of St. Isidore Parish in Bloomingdale, where he started and coached the schools’ basketball team. He later joined St. Walter’s Parish in Roselle, and for years drove the beloved Fr. Guiney to visit sick parishioners. Chuck loved the game of golf and spent countless hours with the other “Range Rats” at Green Valley Golf Range.

His final resting place will be Assumption Cemetery in Winfield, IL.

For Chuck, there was nothing of higher value than an education. And he held no one in higher regard than a student working hard to pay for their education.
