It is with deep sorrow and sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Barbara Ann Williams, surrounded by her husband and family on Wednesday, May 13, 2020.

She was born on February 19, 1953 in Edmonton, Alberta, to Jack and Bessie Ann MacKay. She married Gilbert Williams on August 31, 1974.

She leaves behind her loving husband Gilbert of 45 Years, children; Romayne Jesse, Amber Mindus, and Clayton (Katerina) Williams, granddaughters; Serenity, Jaida, Rebbecka, and Tinah; grandsons; Titan, Hudson, and David; great-grandchildren; Zane, Miles, Isaac, and Eryn, as well as numerous extended family and close friends.

She loved to cook, sew, crocheting, painting, and playing crib with Gilbert. She loved and cared for her family and her many dear friends whose hearts she touched. She will be greatly missed.

A private family service was held in Athabasca on Saturday, May 23, 2020 at the Athabasca, Community Chapel. A public celebration of life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the MS Society of Alberta, and the Cross Cancer Institute.

The William’s family would like to take this opportunity to thank our family doctors and all the medical staff at the Athabasca Hospital, Athabasca Community Health Services, and the Alberta Palliative Care group.  We would also like to thank the Athabasca Community Chapel, Living Water Anglican Fellowship, and Athabasca Value Drugs, for their assistance during our troubled time.  

A special thanks to Dr. Smith and our daughters to make it possible for Barbara to remain at home until her passing.
