Services set for woman killed in Iraq
Visitation for Nicole Suveges, a former Lake County resident who was killed in Iraq, is from 3 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Kisselburg Wauconda Funeral Home, 235 N. Main St.
Funeral services begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the funeral home then move to Transfiguration Church, 348 W. Mill St., Wauconda, for Mass at 10 a.m. Military honors will be held at Wauconda Cemetery.
Suveges, 38, was a civilian political scientist employed by BAE Systems, a Maryland firm advising the Army's 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
She was among four people -- two soldiers and two civilians -- killed Tuesday in the bombing in Sadr City, Baghdad.
Described as an academic by family members, Suveges was in Iraq researching her doctoral dissertation in international relations at Johns Hopkins University.
She attended Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire and Mundelein High School and had received degrees from the University of Illinois at Chicago and George Washington University.
Her work involved helping Army leaders understand the Iraqi culture and to help them avoid offending or misunderstanding Iraqis.
