Christy Ann (Kulild) Caligiuri, 81, passed away Friday, May 24, after a battle with a debilitating illness.
She was born to parents James Kulild and Maxine (Croy) Kulild of Sioux City on November 19, 1943. She attended Roosevelt High School and the University of Missouri.
Many people knew her as a people person who had a ready smile and friendly disposition. She loved her job as a dental assistant for Doctor Patrick Reilly on Ingersoll, which is where she met her husband. Upon her retirement, she loved to take long walks and partake in the Norwalk community. Being a part of a large Italian family seemed to suit the social side of her.

She is survived by her children Robin (Burke) Callan and Jeffrey Burke, her sister-in-law Jan (Kulild) Norman; and her nieces and grand nieces and nephews.
