Cammers, Wilhelmina "Kidsy" (14 MAR 1939 – 6 FEB 2017)

Wilhelmina "Kidsy" Cammers, died at 8:38 p.m., Monday, February 6th, 2017 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, WI. Shew as born March 14, 1939 on the beautiful Caribbean Island of Dominica. At age 13 she joined her father in St. Lucia, where she lived until she moved to northern Wisconsin in 1969.

On December 14, 1959 she married William E. "Bill" Cammers from Riplinger (Clark Co.), WI. He served as a missionary for Jehovah's Witnesses in the West Indies. Three children were born to them in St. Lucia. In May 1968 Bill returned to Clark County, Wisconsin to care for his ailing mother, who died in December of that year. Kidsy and her three young boys joined him in January of 1969. The family lived with Walt and Lucille Hohl in Greenwood, WI for six months, for which Kidsy was very thankful, after which the Cammers family moved to Owen, WI.

Kidsy was a volunteer driver for Clark County for 30 years.

Kidsy dedicated her life to her God, Jehovah, on January 25, 1953, and was an active member of the Thorp Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses until her death. She spent as much time as she could in the door-to-door ministry, sharing with as many as possible the Bible's message of an earthly paradise.

Survivors include three sons: Harley W., Arthur (spouse Judi Kuhl), and Elton T. Cammers; three grandchildren: Connor P. Doyle (spouse Cassandra Jens), Sage Cammers-Goodwin, and Jacqueline Robbins (spouse Shaquille); great-grandchildren: Shaquille, Alena and Carter Robbins, and Verne, Magnolia Jens-Doyle; siblings: Edoreen Joseph, (Freda, Julien, Dorival, Beckett, Josephaka Nice Boy) Dodds, Meredith Wright, Olivia Graham, and Veronic Gibbons (spouse Anson); as well as many relatives and friends.
