PREIB MARY FRANCES August 1, 2003 Formerly of Arlington Hts. and Chicago, passed away in Seattle, WA on July 28, 2003 at the age of 78 after suffering a stroke several weeks ago. Mary Fran will always be remembered for her kind and generous spirit and her passionate devotion to her favorite things: crossword puzzles, opera, family and Chicago. Though Mary moved away from Chicago in 1969, it remained home to her throughout her life, and she returned several times a year to visit family and friends and to attend the symphony and opera. Her father, Judge Frank Padden, a formidable Democratic orator in the contentious political landscape of the 1920's and 1930's Chicago, was a mainstay for the Democratic Party. While the city was establishing a reputation for corruption and patronage, Mrs. Preib described Judge Padden as a straight shooter both on the bench and as a politician who couldn't be intimidated or manipulated. She remained a fervent Democrat her entire life. Born on the city's west side, Mrs. Preib moved at a young age with her family to Rogers Park on Touhy Avenue. She often described what a wonderful community Rogers Park was, spending the summer days at the beach and ice-skating in the winter. Mrs. Preib formed a close-knit group of friends in Rogers Park that eventually came to be called their poker group. They gathered several times a year to play cards and socialize, even after moving with the family to the suburbs of Detroit, MI. After retiring, she and her husband James built a home on Lower Herring Lake just down the road from Lake Michigan. It was here that she enjoyed many summers filled with visits from children and grandchildren. Mary Fran is survived by her husband James Andrew; six children, James (Pam) Preib, John Preib, Patricia Preib, William (Brenda Sheimo) Preib, Nancy (Jeff Walker) Preib, and Marty Preib; four grandchildren, Riley, Emily, Molly and Lucy; and sister Patricia Murphy.
