Mrs. Sladek was born in Chili, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Henning. She later moved to Wadsworth, Il. then, in 1942 to Kenosha, where she remained until 1976, when she went to Pinedale, Ca., to make her home with a daughter, Mrs. Donald (Audrey) Awtrey.

Mrs. Sladek attended school in Chili and was graduated from Marshfield High School. She was employed at the Holiday Village from 1935 until 1963, and from 1963 until her retirement in 1976 at Southern Colony, Kenosha.
