Sara B. Loiacono, 76, of Huntley, passed away on May 27, 2026. She was born February 3, 1950 in Bryn Mawr, PA, the daughter of William and Ella (Bowersox) McKee.
Sara had a deep faith and was a devoted member of Willow Creek Church for many years. She was a fantastic cook and baker, enjoyed spending time listening to birds, and an avid reader. Sara was very close to her mother and loved nothing more than spending time with her grandchildren.

Sara and Peter owned and operated an accounting firm, Supreme Business Services where they worked together until 2002. Sara then worked at Willow Creek Church as the payroll manager until she retired 13 years ago.
Sara is survived by her son, Paul (Jacquie) Loiacono; grandchildren, Noah and Liam; siblings, Leona (Mike) Nakoff, William McKee, and Beth (Ron) Rhea; and nieces and nephews.
She is preceded by her husband, Peter Loiacono, her parents, and sister-in-law Ingrid McKee, her brother-in-law Denis and niece Cheri.

You are gone too soon! I will miss u Your smile and hug every Sunday! We will miss you but knowing that you are in the loving arms of our Savior Jesus Christ! Rest in peace and please say hi for me to Superman! You are both missed! Prayers of comfort to the family.
My sincere condolences to all of the family. My Dave would not have again met up with Blanche if we hadn't been active at WCCC. He saw his former pastor's obit in the New Community Weekly. We met up as couples and restarted a long ago friendship. Blance still had Dave's HS graduation picture! Dave always referred to Blanche as his HS Sweetheart. We traveled back to their hometown of Marion, IA & visited with Dave's mom who was still alive. Again my condolences.
We are sorry for your loss, and know she is in a wonderful place with God.
We love you and will miss you so much Sara! You were such a good grandma to Noah and Liam and so good with Isabella. We know you are resting in peace with Pete and your mother. We will see you again one day. Until then we will never forget the amazing memories! - love the Peterson’s
We are so very sorry for your loss. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Sending much love and hugs to you all.
I am so saddened to hear of my dear friend's death. Blanche and I were best friends since going to Judson. She got me my job at Chicago Rawride and became best friends also with Pete. Then they hired my husband to work for their accounting firm. We all were close at Willow. Until we moved to Texas, she and I were the best of friends. I am grateful for our relationship with the Lord so we will all be together some day!!!
We were SO saddened by the passing of my dear cousin, but know she is rejoicing with her loved ones in her heavenly home. We are praying for the family!🙏❤️

Heaven gained a beautiful soul. Sara was an amazing and kind person to her family and everyone around her. She will be truly missed. Our deepest sympathy to the Loiacono family. May you find peace and strength. Love you all.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. I knew her from the accounting department at Willow. So sorry for your loss.
We all wanted her to fight for living here on earth but God helped her to make the decision. She is now in the arms of Jesus. As much as I miss her, why would I want to bring her back. I will see her again. Save me a seat at the table! ❤️
My Dear Friend-You will be missed. May we fine comfort in the love you gave, Strength in the memories we hold close, And peace in the days that lie ahead.
