‘Mrs. CarmelCorn’ Nita Tribo leaves sweet legacy in Chicago Heights

Flossmoor resident Juanita “Nita” Tribo, 86, who died Sept. 20, is being remembered as a tenacious businesswoman who left a lasting legacy in her community satisfying sweet-tooth cravings for generations of customers at her CarmelCorn Shop in Chicago Heights. Tribo’s family members described her as a phenomenal cook and devoted caregiver who is famous for her hand-written notes often scribbled on various scraps of paper, according to her daughter, Lisa Hallberg. “We’re looking at a note now that says, ‘Take your pills before coffee,'” Hallberg said, referring to a reminder she wrote for her husband, Enzo Tribo, who is now 92. Nita Tribo ran CarmelCorn while her husband operated Enzo’s, an Italian beef establishment that had been serving the community since 1946.
