It is with a broken heart and a smile on our face that we, the family of Valda Shirley Williams, announce the passing of our beautiful, strong and witty mother on March 1, 2019, at the age of 87 years. Predeceased by her husband Weldon; parents Weston and Alice Williams; brothers George, Alex and Eugene; and sister Marjorie (Lloyd) Samson. Leaving to mourn her loving son Wayne and special daughter-in-law (friend) Joan, five daughters Lorraine (John), Sharon, Judy (Ron), Annette (Blair) and Leann (Bob); 11 grandchildren: Tom, Wendy, Geoffrey, Mark, Kyle, Matthew, Julia, Nicholas, Lucas, Hannah and Riley; and three great-grandchildren Jorja, Grace and Hudson, also leaving to mourn her sisters Gwen Williams (Ron Tucker) and Olive Carter (Gordon-deceased); and a large circle of family and friends.
