Shelly Ann Klinger

1963 - 2021

Shelly Ann Klinger, 57, of Williamstown, passed away Thursday evening, April 1, 2021, at her home surrounded by her family, after a courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer.

Born May 3, 1963, in Pottsville, she was a daughter of the late Ronald and Diane Carl Underkoffler.

Shelly was a 1981 graduate of Williams Valley High School. She began working for the former AMP Inc., in 1997, and continued to for the next 22 years, retiring in 2019 from the now TE Connectivity, due to her cancer. She really enjoyed her job.

She was a member of Our Lady of Help of Christian Catholic Church, Lykens, and a social member of the Williamstown American Legion. Shelly faithfully recited the Rosary with the St. John the Baptist Rosary Group.

Shelly lived her life for others, always putting their needs above hers. Her life became complete when she became a "Nene" to her four grandchildren. They were the light of her life.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by brother-in-law, Jim Klinger.

Surviving are her husband of 36 years, Gary W. Klinger; a daughter, Ashley Guyeski and her fiance, Justin Wiest, Williamstown; a son, Tyler Klinger and his wife, Nikki, Tower City; her beloved grandchildren, Blake Bender, Tucker, Kaydence and Brinley Klinger; a sister, Yvette Pfeffer, Pine Grove; two brothers, Kelly and Jamie Underkoffler, both of Tower City; her aunt and uncle, Jack and Gail Carl, Williamstown; an aunt, Patsy Klouser, Florida; sister-in-law, Cindy Klinger, Williamstown; two brothers-in-law, Ronald "Deek" Klinger, Tower City, and Tom Klinger, Lykens; nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear friends.
