The Chez Veterans Center is saddened by the loss of Adeline Kulig Puccini, who passed on March 29^th 2023.  Mrs. Puccini helped support the building of the Chez Veterans Center and named our third floor here at the Center the “CAPT. J. E. Puccini, USN, Adeline K. and Nancy Ann Puccini Residential Floor. 

Mrs. Puccini (born August 11^th 1927) Graduated from UIUC in 1950 with a Bachelor of Science in speech correction, before going on to get her Master from Northwestern.  Mrs. Puccini’s marriage to U.S. Navy Aviator, Captain Joe Puccini, led her to travel and work from coast to coast in her 40 year professional career.  After retirement, Mrs. Puccini became a world traveler and author, writing three books. 

We thank Mrs. Puccini for her contributions and all she has done in her life.
