Madison – Kathleen Ann “Kay” (Weger) Kelliher, age 91, passed away on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at Heritage in Middleton. She was born in Madison on July 9, 1931, the daughter of Matthew and Ethel (Willadsen) Weger. Kay married William Kelliher on July 8, 1950, and they enjoyed 59 years of marriage. Together they raised four children and enjoyed bowling, golfing and camping in their 5th wheel trailer. Kay retired from General Casualty Insurance. She and Bill spent winters in Mission, Texas and came back to live in Oxford, WI during the summers until Bill’s Alzheimer’s kept him from driving. She took care of Bill until he passed away in 2009.
