Kathleen Daley Obituary

Kathleen McDonough Daley of Onalaska, WI, on December 7th, 2021, aged 84. A 60-year resident of Chicago, Kathy attended St. Margaret Mary School, St. Scholastica High School, and was a 1954 graduate of Mount Saint Mary's Academy. She was a dyed-in-the-wool Cubs fan. A recovering alcoholic of 53 years, Kathy was tremendously proud of and humbled by her sobriety. Predeceased by her parents William J. Sr. and Julia (nee-Corrigan) McDonough, and stepmother, Virginia McDonough, she is survived by her daughter Julia Kathleen Daley of London, UK., her beloved brother William J. McDonough, Jr. (the late Cherrie), sisters Jacquelyn (Robert) Greenough and Virginia (Gregory) Koss; cherished nieces Lisa (Steve) Sauke, Deirdre (Scott) Dalsing, and nephew Timothy (Kathleen) Kelley, Julie Most, Doreen Koss, Amy Colve, Kyle McDonough, Casey McDonough, Leslie Tindle, Bobby and Megan Greenough, and dear friends. Her smiling Irish eyes will be missed by all.
