Ann Lurie, one of Chicago’s most prolific philanthropists, has died at the age of 79. Known for her extensive charitable work, Lurie was a significant benefactor to various causes, including children's hospitals. She grew up as the only child of a single mother in Florida and was deeply influenced by the spirit of doing good. Lurie is survived by her husband, Mark Muheim, her six children, 16 grandchildren, and Muheim's two sons. In recognition of her contributions, an actual, green-colored street at 4200 S. Pulaski in Chicago was named after her.
