Memorial for Emma Williams

Our beloved Emma unexpectedly passed on September 3, 2022. Emma was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend who touched the lives of all those around her. She was the kindest and happiest person you would ever meet. She always saw the good in everyone. She was best known for putting others’ needs before her own and was always the best protector and confidante you could ask for. She was someone you could count on to lend an ear and provide advice. She was full of smiles and laughter, and shared her love with everyone she met. Wherever she went her light and beautiful soul left that place and the people better than how she found it. No words will ever do her justice in capturing how truly wonderful and special Emma was.

She leaves behind her husband, Andrew Williams and daughter, Maisie of Marion, IA; parents, Randy and Chris (Constable) Howell of Sutliff, IA; sister, Maggie and nephew, Charlie of Sutliff, IA; mother-in-law, Linda (Dave) Connell of Solon, IA; father-in-law, Michael (special friend, Dawn Van Der Stoep) Williams of North Liberty, IA; brother-in-law, Christopher (Stephanie) Williams of North Bergen, NJ; grandfather, Justin Hanna of Portsmouth, NH; grandmother-in-law, Pat Williams of Lake City, IA; and numerous other relatives and friends.

Many people are feeling her immense loss and have reached out to ask how they can help or where their financial assistance would be most meaningful. This fund is being established to honor Emma’s life with a memorial in her name.

A celebration of life is planned for October 1, 2022 from 2-6 p.m. at Sutliff Store and Tavern in Lisbon, IA.
