October 8, 1935 – August 24, 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wilma Jean Williams, who departed this earthly life on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the age of 89. Born on October 8, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Otis and Arvila Clark. A cherished daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend, Wilma’s gentle spirit and unwavering love profoundly impacted the lives of those fortunate enough to have known her.
On January 10, 1953, in Pekin, IL, she was united in marriage to Joseph A. Williams.
She was the Supervisor of housekeeping at Woodstock Health Center in Kenosha, WI. For 25 years, she had been caring for her husband, who had suffered a severe stroke.
Wilma enjoyed making artificial flower arrangements, gardening and working in the yard, playing cards with friends and family.
Wilma is survived by her children, Dennis (Jeannie) Williams, Debra Creekmore, Rick (Cathy) Williams, and Linda (Luis) Dosemagen; her nine grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren; and her sister, Lavern Walters. In addition to her parents and husband, Wilma was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Robert Creekmore, sister, Geraldine Minga, brothers, Wendell and Horise Clark.
Wilma will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May her soul rest in peace.
Funeral services honoring Wilma’s life will be held privately.
