Katherine STILLWELL

Katherine Roseanne Schwarm took her first breath of fresh air on February 2, 1953 to the parents of Leela May and George Daniel Schwarm. She departed this beautiful life on February 16, 2015 surrounded by the love of her children and family.

Katherine was originally born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She attended North Fairmont School District. At the age of fourteen years old, Katherine had un-enrolled from school to stay home and help out with the family. From the time Katherine was seventeen until she was twenty-five years old, she experienced life of segregation, Woodstock, to working various jobs to raise her two sons and one daughter. She never gave up and strived for the best even when the worst of outcomes arose.

By the time Katherine hit her late forty's she had become a Great Aunt and Grandmother. She decided to experience a more adventurous life by becoming a truck driver for eighteen years.

Katherine still carried her spunkiness and thirst for life all the way till the end. She was always willing to help you whether it was opening her home, lending a helping hand or ear to your ups and downs of life. She always had a strong opinionated mind, as well as a voice, and she would never let you forget it. If you had nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Katherine loved her late sister Virginia's children as if they were her own. Even despite their diversities she would not have traded them for the world.

Katherine enjoyed to travel and spend time with her family. She had an everlasting love for music as well as sitting down with a good book. Katherine always managed to stay busy, her motto was: fall off the horse, get back on the horse.

She was welcomed to everlasting life by her late son Stewart Daniel Lee Williams, and grand-daughter Angel Raiann Mueller. She has been rejoined with family members that she dearly loved and missed.

Katherine Roseanne Schwarm-Stillwell leaves behind her children Jeffery Lee Williams, Jr. and Alishia Ann Stilwell. Three grand-daughters, Samantha, Stephanie, and Katherine Williams and many nieces and nephew.

Katherine may have left us in death, but her Strength and Spirit will always lie within us. For her memory will always carry on, so always be you, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
