Nuala P. Gorski, age 50 of Woodstock, passed away Saturday, August 27, 2016 at the University of Chicago Hospital surrounded by her loving family.

She was born in Chicago on June 7, 1966 to Thomas and Margaret (Haddock) McCartin.  She married Daniel Gorski on May 17, 1991 at St. Thecla Catholic Church in Chicago.

Nuala was a caring and fun loving person with a smile that could light up a room.  She was always a joy to spend time with regardless the occasion.  She was full of personality with a strong desire to help others.  Her kindness and compassion was always a comfort to the ones closest to her.  She loved Elvis Presley for his artistic persona with a nostalgic passion.  But, most of all, she was a loving wife and an adoring mother.
