Jacqueline "Jackie" M. Williams, 84, Green Bay, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 8, 2025. She was born December 25, 1940, in Green Bay to John "Jack" and Beatrice (Gillis) Giesler.

Jackie was a graduate of West High School, Class of 1959, and went on to complete her studies at Vocational and Adult Business School (now NWTC). On May 12, 1962, she married Wayne M. Williams at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. She worked at Paper Converting before dedicating many years to the family business, Birdseye Dairy, where she kept things running smoothly.

A lifelong Wisconsin sports fan, Jackie loved cheering on the Packers and Brewers. She also had a passion for photography and scrapbooking. She loved traveling, whether to her cottage on Lake John, visiting friends in Arizona, or with cousins to Branson. But above all else, Jackie's greatest joy came from supporting and celebrating her children and grandchildren, who were the center of her world.

She is survived by her three children, Robb Williams, Steve (Claire) Williams, and Michelle (Luis) Rivera. She was a proud and loving grandmother to seven grandchildren: Morgan, Benjamin, AJ, Elizabeth, Ryan, Lily, and Maxwell. Jackie is also survived by her brother-in-law, Patrick (Mary) Williams; sisters-in-law, Doris Giesler and Janice Matthews; and many beloved nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Jackie was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne; parents, Jack and Beatrice; brother, John Giesler; in-laws, James and Bernice (Johansen) Williams; brother-in-law, Michael Williams; uncle, Eugene Gillis; and nephew, John Williams.
