Rosemary "Tudy" Gentry

Rosemary “Tudy” Girot Gentry, 68, of Bourbonnais, IL passed away on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at Presence St. Mary’s Hospital in Kankakee. Rosemary was born on July 11, 1954, in Kankakee, IL., the daughter of Edward and Mildred (Wilkey) Girot. On December 24, 1979, in Kankakee, IL., she married Gary Gentry. A retired Bourbonnais Postal employee. Her life’s passion and work were her service to others. She spent her free time feeding the homeless and organizing charity for our troops and wounded veterans and was a caregiver to the mentally ill and dying. She tried to save every homeless person she ever met. The rejected and unfortunate found kindness and love from her. She was the best wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother we could have. Her greatest treasure was her family, especially, her grandchildren. She spent decades hosting holidays and weekly Sunday dinners for her family and often, anyone else in need. She opened her home and her heart to everyone. When you walked through her door you were met with kindness and without judgment. Her smile lit up a room and others gravitated towards her kind spirit. She was our “Tudy” and will forever be missed. She is survived by her husband Gary Gentry; her son, Steven (Heather) J. Faber JR.; her daughter, Lisa (Chad) Weber; two sisters, Pat (Grant) Appell, and Donna Brinkman and Frank Potchebski; two brothers; James (Linda) Girot, Gary Girot; sister in law, Terri Girot; seven grandchildren, Steven (Shelby) Faber III, AJ Faber, Francis Faber, Ty (Lexi) Weber, Trent (Jackie) Weber, Teague Weber and Trevin Weber; four great grandchildren, Steven Faber IV, Tanner Weber, Esmae Weber, and Tatum Weber. She is preceded in death by her parents; Edward and Mildred Girot; a brother, Michael Girot; a brother-in-law, Duane Brumitt; a sister-in-law, Celest Girot; a niece, Jossette Frey. Cremation rites have been accorded by Jensen Funeral Home.
