Kristy L. Singleton

Kristy L. Singleton, age 74, of Manitowoc, passed away unexpectedly early Tuesday morning, September 24, 2024 at Froedtert Holy Family Medical Center in Manitowoc.
Kristy was born on March 13, 1950 in Manitowoc, daughter of Shirley (Rehbein) Rahmlow and the late Glen Rahmlow. She grew up and attended First German Lutheran School and was a 1968 graduate of Manitowoc Lutheran High School. On April 8, 1970, Kris married the former Billy Ray Singleton at St. Peter's Ev. Lutheran Church, Mishicot. He preceded her in death on January 13, 2017. They were a proud Army family who were stationed in Germany, Missouri, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Texas, and Hawaii during Bill's career. In 1988, the family moved to Manitowoc after Bill's retirement to fulfill their dream of raising their children in parochial schools. Kris worked as a secretary for the FBI when she met Bill. She then was a stay-at-home mother while the family was stationed in the Army and later worked at Hartman's Bakery, formerly known as Gilbert's Bakery, following her return to Manitowoc. Kris was a member of Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church. She enjoyed crocheting, watching TV, and loved to play a variety of card games. Kris was a proud supporter and fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Clemson Tigers. There wasn't a moment you didn't hear Christmas music playing in her car, 365 days a year. Her laughter, words of wisdom, and memories she created will stay with us forever. She was "sometimes" stubborn in her own ways - leaving the bathroom light on at all times and never really appreciating her foxes. Kris, affectionately known as Grammie by her grandchildren, will be greatly missed.
