Mrs. Kerry Sue Witherell, 48, Galesburg, died at 2:34 pm Saturday, November 24, 2007 at her home.
She was born January 14, 1959 in Galesburg, Illinois, the daughter of Dale and Margaret Schweigofer Lithander. She married Gregg S. Witherell on May 17, 1980. She is survived by her parents; her husband; two daughters, Kayla Witherell and Teale Witherell, both of Galesburg; a son, Micah Witherell of Galesburg. Also surviving are three brothers, Kim Lithander of Boise, ID, Kirk (and Paula) Lithander of Dayton, OH and Keith (and Julie) Lithander of Boise, ID; an aunt, Rita (and Clarence) Martell of Camarillo, CA; nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandparents.
Kerry graduated from Galesburg High School in 1977 and attended Carl Sandburg College.
In early years Kerry worked in the office at Gates Tire & Rubber, and was then employed for 24 years by Econo-Foods. She later worked as a retail merchandiser for Hallmark Cards.
Kerry was an active member of Bethel Baptist Church where she was part of a Small Group Bible Study, enjoyed activities with Prime Timers, and was a Sunday school helper. Kerry was known by all to be a hard worker and a great homemaker, and could always be counted on to volunteer for school and church projects. She enjoyed shopping and travel, and most important to her was the precious time she spent with her family and friends.
She was a loving wife and mother, passing on her Christian values to all who knew her. Kerry was loved by many, and will be remembered always.
Funeral services will be 10:00 AM Thursday, November 29, 2007 at the Bethel Baptist Church with Rev. Lee Johnson and Rev. Kirk Kendall officiating. Visitation will be from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM Wednesday, November 28, 2007 at Hinchliff-Pearson-West Galesburg Chapel. Burial will be at East Linwood Cemetery. Memorials may be made to an education fund for the Witherell children.
