Marianne Kettman

Marianne Kettman, 98, of Streator, passed away peacefully Wednesday morning, September 3, 2025, at

the ARC of Streator.

Private family services were held with burial in Phillips Cemetery. The Winterrowd Funeral Home

assisted the family with arrangements.

Marianne was born February 4, 1927, in Streator to Glen and Irene (Edgington) Daugherity. She

married the love of her life, Thomas G. Kettman, on November 11, 1949. They shared nearly 69 years

together before his passing on February 10, 2018.

She is survived by her daughters, Kathy (Brian) Kmetz of Streator and Susan (Csaba) Radnoty of

California; her son, Brian (Kim) Kettman of Missouri; grandchildren, Kurt Quickel, Brandon Quickel,

David (Melissa) Kmetz, Chris (Cori) Kmetz, Shay Sanford, Jacob Kettman, and Maddie Mumin; 15

great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; her brother, John (Joanne) Daugherity of Madison,

Wisconsin; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Jerry; her grandson, Tyler Kettman; and her

brothers, Jerry and Neale Daugherity.

Marianne grew up southeast of Streator and loved to share stories of her life on the farm. She attended

Smith-Dale Grade School, a one-room schoolhouse, until 1940. She later graduated from Streator High

School in 1944. She and Tom built their family home on the very property where she had once gone to

school—an enduring symbol of her deep roots in the community.

Before devoting herself to raising her family, Marianne worked at Barickman Feed Store, The Garter

Factory, J.C. Penney, and Streator Dry Goods. She was a longtime member of Central Church of Christ,

where she was baptized in 2019.

Marianne will be remembered for her love of family, her strength and resilience, and the life she built

with Tom over many decades. At family gatherings when surrounded by her many grandchildren and

great grandchildren, she would often say, “I can’t believe of all this came from me and Tom”.

Memorials in her honor may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
