Izabela A Kornaga

Izabela A. Kornaga of Hoffman Estates, IL passed away suddenly on Tuesday November 25, 2025, in Crystal Lake, IL. Iza born June 13, 1955, in Wieliczka, Poland. Iza was preceded in death by her father Tadeusz Lanuszka and her son Wojciech M. Kornaga. Iza is survived by her immediate family in and around Krakow, Poland: her mother, Anna Lanuszka-Adolf; her brother, Grzegorz Lanuszka; her half-sister, Kasia Adolf; and her half-sister, Kinga Lanuszka-Rebacz Iza is also survived by her daughter Ella Kornaga of Forest Park, IL; son Kuba Kornaga; and grandchild Emmalee "Ivan" of Nevada, IA. Our mother was an astonishing woman of great strength and resilience. She immigrated to the US in June of 1987 with her family - the three kids on her back would later grow to test her every patience; she never wavered. She was a mother first and everything else came after, always taking care of others first seemed to be her life motto. Iza started her career in Iowa as a hairdresser then transitioned to home care once she relocated to the Chicagoland area. She had a lot of passion for life which included the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team and the Iowa Hawkeyes. She loved bargain thrift stores and shopping of any kind. Every holiday, big or small, Iza was ready with the most thoughtful gifts, always thinking of others. She was the type of mother that sent care packages and brought over bags of groceries whether you asked for them or not. It was her way of always taking care of her kids and showing them just how much they were loved. Iza was born with a green thumb and had an immaculate collection of plants and flowers that filled her home. She made friends with ease and had a girl group that she was proud of. She also had an incredible taste for fashion and never left the house without her lipstick. She was beautiful every day. Iza loved traveling around and being with her family. She had more adventures under her belt than most people can imagine. Lengthy car trips and flights galore, Iza was always ready to say yes to any adventure thrown her way. Her dream had always been to go to Paris, and that dream came true not once but twice. Paris in the winter, Paris in the summer, Iza radiated joy in these moments, and these moments are the ones that will be missed the most. Izabela was a bright light in a dim world. She will truly be missed by many and will be forever in our hearts. Fly high mom we will all meet again in greener pastures. We love you so very much.
