Dr. Vita Meyer nee Pignatiello, late of Tinley Park, IL, and Naples, Florida. Beloved wife of the late Jerry Meyer, Loving mother of Brad (Patti) Meyer, Caring and Cherished grandmother of Sydney, Claire & Tara.

Vita grew-up in Oak Forest, Il, retired after almost 50 years in education (primarily in District 228 in the South Suburbs of Chicago) as a teacher, administrator, Principal of Bremen High School & ultimately retired from Governors State University as an education mentor. Vita fought her whole life for strong women (& men) in education, community & faith. She held the Cross & her unbelievable faith before her in every battle of her life.
