In Memoriam: Patty Williamson still had stories to tell

Patty Williamson, a longtime writer for Door County Living and the (Baileys Harbor) Peninsula Pulse, died Tuesday, Sept. 27. She was 88.

Williamson, who nurtured the journalism bug she first caught in high school through freelance gigs and fill-in duties for local newspapers, joined the Pulse at the age of 74, following a long career in public relations for Missouri school districts. During her tenure, she wrote more than 340 articles about people, history and the arts in Door County, and won an award in last year's Better Newspaper Contest.
