Annette M. Kilian

Annette M. Kilian, 65, devoted partner of the late Martin Hoffman; loving daughter of the late Raymond and the late Adelle Kilian; beloved sister of Katherine (William) Ostrowski and the late Stephen (Mel Gordon) Kilian; and treasured aunt of Mary Ostrowski.

Annette was devoted to her career as a talented florist and worked alongside her brother Steve for many years. She worked up until early February at Lutheran General Hospital Flower Shop, where she was known for her caring, loving, friendly spirit. She leaves a deep hole in her family that will be filled with all the love and wonderful memories she gave us.

A Memorial Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, 10:00 a.m. until the time of Memorial Service, 12:00 p.m. at Kolbus-John V. May Funeral Home, 6857 W. Higgins Ave., Chicago, IL 60656. Interment will be private.

Annette’s life was full of flowers, so in her memory her family kindly asks that a donation be made to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
