William “Bill” Daniels, age 92, a beloved figure of Jonesboro, Georgia, sadly left our world on September 8, 2024, after a life richly lived in service and kindness. Known for his tremendous love for his family and friends, his service in the Army for 30 years, and his active participation in his local church, St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church.
After his wife, Helga, passed away in October 2017, Bill continued to live in Jonesboro for a few more years until March 2021, when he moved to Clyde E. Lassen Veterans Nursing Home in St. Augustine, Florida, where he lived close to his Florida family for the past three years. He continued to make dear friends at Lassen, was involved in many activities including writing in the Lassen newsletter, and was supported in his faith by local churches and organizations.
William “Bill” Daniels was preceded in death by his wife, Helga Daniels, his three siblings, and his grandson, Zachary Daniels. He is survived by his children: Barbara Richards, Raymond Daniels and Annemarie “Mitzi” Kotziers (husband Bill Kotziers); his grandchildren, Brian Arnett, Stephanie Richards, Brianna Jackson, Steven Richards, Josh Daniels, Melissa Kotziers, and Michaela Kotziers; and great-grandchildren: Nolan Arnett, Freyja Arnett, Olivia Jackson, Mila Jackson and Oliver Arnett.
A funeral mass for William “Bill” Daniels is planned for Monday, November 25th at 10:30 a.m. at the St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church (591 Flint River Rd, Jonesboro, GA 30238). A lunch reception will be held afterward in the church hall. The burial service will follow at 3:00 p.m. at Honey Creek Woodlands (2625 GA-212, Conyers, GA 30094). All are invited to attend.
