Jeanette Maryann "Jeanie" Williams

Jeanette Maryann "Jeanie" Williams, 82, passed away on February 7, 2025, at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

Born on November 1, 1942, in Marinette, Wisconsin, Jeanie spent her life looking after others. As a young person she cared for her mother during chronic illness, and in her adult years she often provided in-home childcare for friends and family. She worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant in nursing homes throughout the Menominee/Marinette and Green Bay areas, offering compassion and support to those in need. She also received additional training to handle medications and to work with those who suffered with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Her strong work ethic and unwavering dedication left a lasting impact on the many lives she touched. 

Beyond her career, Jeanie was known for her sharp humor and seemingly boundless energy—she was always on the move. She would often remark that she was already on her second or third pot of coffee (and had started housework) when everyone else was just waking up. She had a knack for whipping up a meal large enough to feed a small army with no forewarning and only the ingredients on hand. Even when she sat down to watch her favorite murder mystery TV shows, her hands were in constant motion. She found joy in creating beautiful handmade pieces through knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and sewing. Her skilled hands crafted countless cherished items for family and friends, each stitch a testament to her love and creativity. 

Jeanie is survived by her children: Marcheta A. Ravet, John M. Ravet, and Laura L. (Emily) Ravet Ambrose; her grandchildren: Amber, Tawny, Whitney, Zachary, Nathaniel, Ty, Paige, and Drake; and her great-grandchildren: Roman, Alayna, Gryffon, William, Noah, Liem, Willow, Bodevan, Viggo, and Cecilia. She was preceded in death by her parents Jeanette Marie (Belanger) Williams and Marvin James (James Marvin) Williams Sr., as well as her sister Maureen Raminger and brother Marvin Williams. 

A remembrance event will be held in the near future. In her memory, please consider making a charitable donation to your preferred mental health or addiction recovery organization.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
