Ken was born November 19, 1945, in Green Bay to Clarence and Irene (Borlee) Jolly. He graduated from West High School Class of 1963. In 1966, he married Julie Raether and they celebrated 59 years together. He was employed at Proctor and Gamble for 33 years as a pipefitter and retired at the age of 53. After retiring he and his wife Julie moved to Crivitz, where they lived for 23 years. Because of the harsh Wisconsin winters they enjoyed wintering in Arizona and Nevada for 18 years.

Ken was extremely proud of his 2 sons and 5 grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening, playing sheepshead, going to the casino, and traveling especially to Australia and New Zealand.

He is survived by his wife Julie; sons, Corey (Stacey), Quinn Jolly; grandchildren, Mason, Logan, Aubrey, and Addison Jolly and Aiden Wright; sister-in-law, Ila Jolly; brother-in-law, Mike Streckenbach (Connie), Eric DuChateau (Robin), and many nieces and nephews.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Clarence Jolly, Jr., sister and brother-in-law, Janet and Andy Micolichek, sister-in-law, Sandra Streckenbach and Karen DuChateau.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
