LittleSis: Ann Lurie

Ann Lurie, the prolific philanthropist whose donations benefitted medical treatment and research in Chicago and around the world, has died at the age of 79 on Monday June 24 2024 from complications from a recent illness. Lurie was born and raised in Florida, where she worked in public health and moved to Chicago in 1973 where she worked as a pediatric intensive care nurse at the former Children's Memorial Hospital. She married Bob Lurie, a real estate developer, who died in 1990 from colon cancer. When he passed away she invested in medical equipment and built his fortune even further. She ran the Anne and Robert H. Lurie Foundation, which supported several charitable causes in Chicago and around the world. Such donations included $100 million to build the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, which opened in Streeterville in 2012 and serves more than 200,000 children each year. She's also served as a lifetime member of the Board of Trustees at Northwestern University, where she's also given funding for the school's cancer center and medical research. She's given more than $60 million to Northwestern over the years.
