Bunker Hill—Donald R. Williamson, 90, passed away Thursday, June 9, 2022 at his home.

Born May 14, 1932 in Streator, IL, he was the son of Robert and Lois (Nevius) Williamson.

A U.S. Army veteran, Don worked as a crane operator for Laclede Steel.  He also was a farmer, and he loved working on the farm.  He was a quiet man of few words, but when he spoke, it was wise to listen to him.

(Donna Sexton) Williamson of Wilsonville; 5 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren; and one sister, Linda Mulligan of Cottage Hills.

He was preceded in death by a daughter, Carlene Williamson; his parents; four sisters, Maxine Garrison, Donna Jane McMonigle, Roberta "Bert" Eberhart, and Dorothy "Dot" Young.
