Mary M. Klawonn, age 61, a resident of Manitowoc, and formerly of Plymouth and Kenosha, entered eternal life with family by her side on Thursday, June 4, 2026 at New Day

Assisted Living in Manitowoc.

Mary was born on May 29, 1965 in Kenosha to the late Raymond and Linda (Corradini) Koski. She graduated from Mary D. Bradford High School in Kenosha with the class of 1984. On October 10, 1987, Mary married Christopher Klawonn at Christian Catholic Church in Zion, IL. Her great social skills led her to employment in hospitality, multiple dental offices, and customer service; but her favorite passion was being a mom. She enjoyed listening to 70s and 80s music, nature walks, camping, bike riding, and travelling. She was a collector of matching pajamas, shoes, and all things holiday. Christmas was her favorite as evidenced by numerous household trees and endless decorations. As an avid animal lover, Mary had a special place in heart for her shih tzus. Above all, she loved spending time with her family and friends – especially her children.

Survivors include Mary’s husband of 38 years, Chris; two daughters, Kelly (Aaron) Lamberty, Milwaukee; and Lindy (Eric) Duenkel, Manitowoc; three siblings, Kyle (Joann) Koski, Lance Koski, and Sheri Koski; mother-in-law, Dottie Klawonn; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Barry (Jolie) Klawonn, Jason (Beth) Klawonn, Robert Klawonn, Karl “Leonard” (Terri) Klawonn, and Kimberly (Pete) Govoni; also nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Mary was preceded in death by her parents and fathers-in-law, Harold Tatsch and Carl Klawonn.

Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, June 26, 2026 at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home with Pastor Jeremy Vance officiating. Immediately following the memorial service, family and friends are invited to a celebration of Mary’s life at the Harrigan Parkside Gathering Center, located on the south property of the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home.
