Kaye Katherine (Keller) McMullin, 80, of Machesney Park, IL passed away suddenly on June 21, 2022. Born December 18, 1941 in Rockford, IL, the youngest daughter of Bert G. and Catherine A. (Meisenburg) Keller. Kaye married the love of her life, Thomas and together they raised 5 sons. They were married for 47 years before Thomas passed away in March of 2005. She worked and retired from Atwood in Rockford, IL.
Kaye was a sweet, caring and humble soul, but definitely had a feisty spirit, stubborn to say the least. She absolutely loved her family. She always looked forward to time spent with them, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed her coloring books, collecting all sorts of things, Fox News, Hallmark movies, baking, cardinals, soft serve ice cream, her flowers, fairies, shopping, her iPad, crocheting, sewing, pontoon rides, catching up with friends and family and going to garage sales. She was the glue that held her family together. She will be truly missed.
Survived by her sons, Thomas Jr. (Bernadine) McMullin, John (Rosemary) McMullin, Roger (Christine) McMullin, and Jeffrey (Whitney) McMullin; her grandchildren, Ashley, Johnny, Sarah, Katelyn, Brandon, Jordon, Kara, Alisha, Sierra, Emily, Jason, Tonya, and Craig; her great grandchildren, Brynlee, Teagan, Westyn, Remi, Evelyn, Jack and Zylo.
