Katarzyna “Kasia” Kurek Polk, age 38, of Elburn, passed away Monday, March 15, 2021 at Amita Presence St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin.
She was born January 10, 1983, in Poland, the daughter of Wladyslaw (Wesley) and Zofia (Zagata) Kurek.
Kasia was a remarkable young woman. At 17 she went to Naperville North High School and after she graduated she attended College of Dupage.
During her high school and college years, Kasia worked for a dear friend, Dominique, who owns a candy shop in Naperville. She demonstrated her skills, loyalty, and love for people as she eventually came to manage the store.
After graduation with her MBA in hand, she went to work for a placement company that helped process foreign professionals.
Kasia was extraordinary in countless ways. She had such a sweet spirit and deep love for people and we know that deep love stemmed from her unshakeable love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Her first hope and desire was to serve and reflect Christ. All of her friends, and there are many, remarked that they have never known anyone sweeter, more thoughtful, or sincere than Kasia.
So many friends, so many comments, and they all remark about her smile, her genuine joy and kindness, and the fact that she approached everything as a loving servant of the Lord.
Tim said he watched her for a whole year before he had the nerve to ask her out!
When he was talking to some friends about Kasia, he said “I love her!” And they exclaimed…What, you haven’t even had a date with her!
Kasia and Tim were married on November 3, 2018. They were drawn together not only by their common interests, but their mutual love for the Lord Jesus Christ. They had a burning desire to share the love of God with everyone they met. Their wedding was like none other. Beautiful and Christ centered.
Kasia’s greatest desire was to simply be a loving servant of the Lord. All who knew her knew how giving, thoughtful and loving she was. She always went out of her way to help others. She loved animals and nature. She loved surrounding herself with pictures of her family and loved ones.
While there is great sadness, there is great joy in knowing that Kasia is now in the loving arms of her Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
