Date Issued: March 4, 2019

Mayor Gunter and the Westmont Village Board honored longtime Westmont resident Anne Szymski with the Key to the Village and a Proclamation to celebrate her 100th birthday.  “We like to celebrate people who have been influential in the community, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving than Anne Szymski and the entire Szymski family,” said Mayor Ron Gunter.

Anne and her husband Steve, who passed away in 2002, moved to Westmont in 1945.  They started many businesses in Westmont including Westmont Dry Goods Center, Stephen’s Department Store, O.K. Hardware Builders, Family Shoe Store, and Stephen’s Annex Domestics.

The Village of Westmont thanks Anne and the Szymski family for their many years of contribution to the community of Westmont.
