William Arthur Kjellstrom ’68

Will suffered a massive heart attack while performing surgery in Atlanta and died Nov. 30, 1998.

Will came to Princeton from East H.S. in Rockford, Ill. He was a member of Cap & Gown and the varsity swimming team; he was a nationally ranked swimmer. He earned his MD from Baylor and specialized in OB/GYN.

Professionally, Will's greatest joy was dealing with his patients, and he was extraordinarily good at what he did. Over the years, he befriended and cared for innumerable women who had high-risk pregnancies. He had reached the point in his career where he was delivering babies of babies he had once delivered.

Will was gregarious and most enjoyed being with, and cooking for, family and friends in a relaxed atmosphere; he also enjoyed his wine collection, golf in the North Carolina mountains, and travel. He will be sorely missed by his family and many friends. To Will's widow, Mandy, their children Willy and Katie, and his brother, John, the class extends its profound sympathy.
