In loving memory of Kelly Knowles Williams

Died March 20, 2025

Kelly was born April 27, 1963 in Pontiac Mi. She graduated from Brandon High School, Ortonville MI in 1981. At the time of her death she was a resident of Armada, Mi since 2014. She was an active member of Woodside Bible Church-Romeo.

Kelly was the beloved wife and best friend of 27 years to Scott M. Williams of Armada, MI. She is proceeded in death by her mother, Joan I. Knowles. She was the cherished daughter of Wallace E. (Lynda) Knowles of Presque Isle, MI and will be lovingly remembered by her sisters Laura (Bradford) McIlhargie of Pontiac, Mi and Kathleen (Joseph) Roszka of Royal Oak, MI. She was a devoted Aunt to Jennifer (Randal) Rice, Megan (Michael) Kaczor, David (Jennifer) McIlhargie, Sarah (Thomas) Capizzo and Rachel Roszka. Great nieces and nephew include Isabella McIlhargie, Julia Kaczor, Kathaline, Wallace, Evelyn, and Audrey Rice and Joan Capizzo who were all the apple of her eye.

Kelly was one of a kind. She had an unbreakable faith in Jesus, her Lord and Savior and a great love for people and sharing the Gospel with them. She was always ready with a smile and a helping hand and was known for her humor and gregarious personality. Kelly loved her family dearly and was always planning and hosting family gatherings. She enjoyed her Bible study group, drag racing weekends with her husband Scott, scrapbooking and crafting, cooking (she was a great cook), gardening and playing card and board games, especially with her great nieces. During her long battle with cancer no one was more positive or fought harder than she did. She greatly appreciated (as does her family) her amazing friends who were always ready to jump in and help in any way they could. Kelly will be forever loved and greatly missed by all.
