Katherine Elaine Winkelman

Kathy enjoyed socializing with friends and family. She was the former owner and operator of OlTimer Inn, in Belleville. She also managed Friday’s South, in Belleville, where she affectionately referred to everyone as her “second family”. Kathy was selfless, generous and never met a stranger. She had a fun-loving, spunky personality that will be missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert J. and Virginia B., nee Wathern, Moeser; her grandson, Joshua I. Sommers, Jr.; a sister, Mary Bond; two nieces, Kaci Michalke and Dani Harbison; and a nephew, Ian Michalke.

Surviving to cherish her memory are her husband of 34 years, Ronald G. Winkelman, of Belleville, Illinois, her children, Becky (Michael) Evans, Christopher (Dawn Parks) Lugge, Christine (Rick) Range, Tia (Josh, Sr.) Sommers, Tracy (Daniel) Bone, and Ronald D. Winkelman; her grandchildren, Jordan (Sam), Lanie, Sam, Dylan, Austin, Alyssa, Joseph, James, Ethan, Damian, Ciara, Addie, Andrew, and Allyson; two great grandchildren, Claire and Avery; her brother, John Moeser; a brother-in-law, Ted Bond; a niece, Monica Michalke; and many other nieces, nephews, family and friends.
