Helen Irene (Kurts) Williams, age 83 of Brocton, passed Monday, December 10, 2012 at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, IL.

She then married George Williams on July 20, 1985 at the Brocton Christian Church; he preceded her in death in 1991.

She also enjoyed reading and having a good time. She was a member of the Retired Teachers Association, Ladies Aide, Redmon Christian Church and was treasurer for the Village of Brocton. Helen is survived by a nephew Stan Vaught of Brocton, IL; two great-nieces Michelle Moore and Lisa Brannon and several children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren by marriage.
