Devoted Motherhood
The birth of her daughter, Ja’Skyler, who is now five years old, marked a new chapter in Williams’ life. “She was a loving mother and she was a devoted mother to Ja’Skyler,” said Pastor Clark. Williams’ dedication to her daughter was unwavering, and she ensured Ja’Skyler was always her top priority.

The community is reeling from the sudden and devastating loss of such a vibrant and dedicated individual.
Family and Community Support
Pastor Clark spoke while surrounded by members of Williams’ large, very tight-knit family, many of whom were too grief-stricken to speak. “What we can do, all of us as a community, as a city, as a church family, as a friend is pray for this family, support this family,” said Pastor Clark. The outpouring of support from the community underscores the deep impact Williams had on those around her.
