Kelley Marie Heidemann

Kelley Marie Heidemann passed away on July 14, 2026, at the age of 67. Born on December 21, 1958, in Antigo, Wisconsin, to Harold and Pearl (Jensen) Boyle, Kelley was a true gem who will be dearly missed by her family and friends. 

She married the love of her life, Timothy Heidemann, on May 7, 1993, at Our Saviours in Merrill, and together they created a warm and loving home filled with laughter and joy. Kelley's spirit was infectious; she had the remarkable ability to listen without judgment and was a loyal friend to many. Outgoing and sociable, she embraced life with a fun-loving attitude. 

Kelley had a soft spot for animals, especially her beloved Lhasa Apso dogs. She loved exploring flea markets, craft shows, and antique markets, and had a fondness for the Irish Heritage. A strong-willed woman, Kelley dedicated over 25 years to her career as a Technical Analyst at Church Mutual. 

She is survived by her husband, Timothy; children, Heath Heidemann and Heather (Jason) Wolff; grandchildren, Cade Heidemann, Aaron Wolff, and Allison Wolff. Kelley is also survived by her sister-in-law, Luanne Boyle. 

Kelley was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Pearl; her son, Justin Ames; her brothers, Dwane Boyle and Robert "Bob" Boyle; her sister, Kathleen Watson; and her brother-in-law, Richard Watson. 

In honor of Kelley's love for animals, the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to the Lincoln County Humane Society.

A special thank you goes out to the wonderful staff at Pine Crest Nursing Home and the Aspirus Merrill Hospital for their exceptional care. 

Visitation will be held July 20th at Taylor-Stine-Waid Funeral & Cremation, 301 S. Eagle Dr, Merrill from 9am-11am, with service to follow at 11am. Burial will follow the service at Merrill Memorial Park Cemetery.
