A mother’s ultimate sacrifice: Angelina Khalimendik, 31, drowned while saving her 7-year-old son from a sudden river current in Des Plaines. Her heroic act saved his life, but cost her own. Leaving behind three children, she’s remembered as a fearless, loving force whose devotion to her kids knew no bounds. The family is now grappling with grief, trying to explain her death to her children, while urging all parents to never underestimate the dangers of water—even in calm, familiar spots. Her funeral is set for Saturday in Bensenville, as her legacy becomes a call to action for water safety.
