Katherine "DUCKY" Coughlin died peacefully on Friday, February 5, 2021.

From her birth on September 20, 1925, until her passing, she was very proud to call Winneconne home.

She was the last of 11 children born to Rose (Holtz) and James Coughlin.

Ducky was a 1943 graduate of Winneconne High School. After high school, she worked at various positions in Chicago and in Michigan. However, Winneconne was her home, so she returned to help her brother Jim manage his real estate and insurance office. She ran that office with a smile and a friendly word for all for over 30 years.

Ducky was a Charter member of the Winneconne Historical Society and continued her membership throughout her life. She was proud of the growth of the Historical Society over the years and the rich history of Winneconne that it provided.

She also served as Secretary for the Winneconne Chamber of Commerce and she was part of the Sovereign State of Winneconne Committee.

She was a lifetime member of St. Mary's Catholic Church

Ducky was preceded in death by her parents; and her 10 brothers and sisters, Marie, Fr. Martin, Edwin, Bernard, Eileen, Thomas, John, James, Rosemary and Patrick; a nephew, Martin; and a niece, Margaret.

Ducky is survived by her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Her family would like to thank all of her caregivers for the compassionate care that she received in her final years and thank Park View Health Center for her care in the last weeks of her life.
