Katie J. Konieczki

Katie Jane Konieczki, 36, of Danville, passed away on March 3, 2022 under a vail of love surrounded by her tribe.

Katie was born on March 2, 1986 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Danville, Illinois. She is the daughter of Tony and Nancy (Hahne) Konieczki of Danville, IL. Katie was raised in Danville where she attended District 118 schools and finished her academic career at Danville High School, where she met her best friend, Lynn Ingram. After high school, Katie went on to attend Crosspoint Day Training Program where she made lots of friends and became a "professional" welder, painter, drill press operator, sander, and more...

Katie enjoyed eating out at Cahills, VIPS, The Deluxe, and other local restaurants. On a sunny day you could find her cruising the golf course with her mom and dad or dancing with her nieces and nephews, who she called her babies. She was a Disney aficionado and enjoyed singing, dancing, and watching every Disney movie. Katie was also an official member of Girl Scout Group 308. She enjoyed early morning Mass at St. Pauls Church with the Hahne family tradition of eating breakfast afterwards at Cahills. Big family dinners were her favorite; especially when she had the opportunity to steal food from her brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. Katie loved celebrating birthdays and no birthday was "official" unless Katie had put her finger in the icing of the cake. One of Katies greatest achievements is scoring a run every time she came up to bat during Challenger baseball.

Katie is going to be missed by her parents, Tony & Nancy Konieczki; grandmother, Diana Konieczki; brothers, Nathan (Carrie) Konieczki and Nick (Kayleigh) Konieczki; her nieces & nephews, Samuel, Aiden, Greyson, Ellinore, and Everleigh; her aunts, uncles, and many cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Charles H Konieczki; grandparents Leslie & Jane Hahne; uncle, Chuck Hahne; aunt, Polly (Hahne) Woolford.
