Gov. Pritzker’s Statement On The Passing Of Cindy Pritzker
Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement: . “My aunt Cindy Pritzker passed away on Saturday, and it leaves a hole in my heart.

When my father died and my mother was ill and I was just 12 years old, she and my uncle Jay took me in and made sure I felt safe and loved. I would not be who I am today without her love, laughter, and kindness.
