Lucille L. "Sally" Williams, 78, 104 S. Franklin St., Oconto Falls, passed away quietly at home on Oct. 20, 1998. Friends and family will remember her for her warm heart, kindness, and generosity. Sally was born on June 3, 1920 in Rapid River, Mich., and the daughter of the late Vernon and Beatrice (Parrott) Resler. After graduation from nursing school from UW-Madison/St. Mary's, Sally served in the United States Army with the Nurse Corps for 11 years. She served in the European Theatre of Operation (ETO) for two years, Okinawa, Japan, and was one of the first nurses to work during the Korean Conflict. She was with the 8063 MASH division, which she would always add, "was nothing like the television MASH stories." After her honorable discharge from the Army, Sally worked as a registered nurse in both Gillett and Oconto Falls until retiring in 1983. Sally thoroughly enjoyed gardening and fishing.
