Kathleen (Kathy) Williams age 79, passed away on March 16th, 2023 at Hospice Alliance South-Pleasant Prairie.

Born on March 12th, 1944 she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Kuchera) Wallo.

She also enjoyed knitting, reading, being a big Packer fan, going out to eat, and enjoyed her music. But, family was always the center of her life and she cherished the time she spent with them. Her grandchildren/great-grandchildren meant everything to her and brought tremendous love and joy into her life.

    Kathy was a wonderful person who always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say to everyone. We shared many happy times with her and Willie at their home on Castle Rock Lake. Kathy’s chili was simply the best! We will raise a toast to you, dear friend, down by the lake at sunset!

    It is a sad day that we can no longer look forward to cocktails on the porch or down at the lake, Kathy’s famous chili, watching Jeff Dunham, Friday Fish Fry at Castle Rock Golf Course, Wonderly’s, Mothers Day Hanging baskets from me and a fern from Willy, or the look on her face when I would mow her circle or yard or campfires in the backyard. Gonna miss all of them Mrs Williams. Love you so much and will miss u tremendously
