Wilma was born on June 24, 1936 in Marietta, Illinois to Joseph and Louise Zaborac. She married Dornino “John” Ciabattoni August 13, 1955 in Peoria. She is survived by three sons, Joseph (Carol), Anthony and Nicholas (Sandra); two daughters, Monica (Daniel) Borries and Cecilia (Barney) Smith; 15 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Dornino, her daughter-in-law, Sherry Ciabattoni, and a great-grandson, Jax Smith. She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Darlene Baumann and Linda Zaborac.
Wilma was a member of St. Mark Catholic Church for over 60 years, serving as a volunteer for many years in the St. Mark Women’s Auxiliary and she was an active member of the Legion of Mary. She was one of the founders (along with her husband) of the St. Mark Food Pantry (also known as West-Mark Pantry) and contributed to its success for many years. She was active in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts for many years.
Wilma loved people and welcomed all into her home. She was always a gracious hostess and made everyone feel as though they had known her for years upon meeting her. She was an amazing wife and mother. All her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren knew when they came to visit, that the cookie jar would always be full of chocolate chip cookies. It was a never empty cookie jar. Her children learned many of their cooking skills from their mother. She was a great cook and loved to host many a holiday and family gathering. Wilma loved sports and always found the time to support her children and cheer them on in their many sporting activities which included wrestling, cross country, baseball and softball.
