Obituary of Eileen Williams

Eileen "Kelly" Williams, age 82, of West Chester, PA, passed away peacefully on September 12, 2025, at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Trainer, PA to the late John and Rita Carey Henderson, Kelly most recently resided in West Chester for the past year, previously making her home for 38 years in Bethany Beach, DE. She worked as a flower delivery driver for Marcus Hook Florist.

Kelly had a zest for life and was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. She loved animals, especially her beloved cats, Payton, Mia; her dog, Brandy. Social by nature, Kelly enjoyed parties, her margaritas, and spending time at the beach, with Bethany Beach and St. Thomas holding special places in her heart. She also loved shopping-often with returns in hand-cooking, and baking. Her favorite time of year was Thanksgiving, when she delighted in hosting her family for dinner. Above all, Kelly cherished time spent with her grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Kelly was preceded in death by her son, Mark Abbott, and her stepson, Billy Williams.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years, Frank Williams; daughter, Kim (Tony) Collins; son, Kevin Abbott; daughter-in-law, Karen Williams; sisters, Joan, and Denise; brother, Jackie; and seven grandchildren: Kylie, Karliegh, Anthony, Erik, James, Sarah, and Tara.

Family and friends are invited to her visitation on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 10:00–11:00 AM at the Pagano Funeral Home, 3711 Foulk Road, Garnet Valley, PA, followed by a Funeral Service at 11:00 AM at the funeral home. Interment will be held privately.
