Ann Williams

My condolences Jeff and Marilyn. Jeff, I never had the opportunity to meet your mother though I heard great stories from you. In seeing her tributes I see the resemblance.

Jeff, your mom seems to have been a very special woman. I recall lovely stories from Marilyn of visits with your parents and their vibrant youthful attitudes. A love of Freddie Mercury and Queen comes to mind...My sincere sympathy to you and Marilyn in your loss. How wonderful that you had so many years with her. Blessings.

My mother Ann lived her life on her own terms.  I am grateful that she was never cowed by the weight of a long life, even at 90.  She was a free spirit and free thinker, and was not bound by the rules and norms of her culture or time. May her spirit live on in others.

Ann has been an inspiration to me for over 25 years.  She readily shared her home library, her (sometimes fierce) independence, and her wit.  I have lived more fully because of her.  Thank you Ann for shining so brightly!
