Adelia Ann Williams, special Mother, Grandmother, and simply the best part of many lives. She was born and raised in the Bottoms around Keatonville and Foyil Oklahoma, where she loved and cared for her 6 younger siblings. She later moved to California to raise her daughters and their families, and eventually would care for her mother. She returned to Oklahoma with her husband to be with her family. She enjoyed fishing, could cook like no other and we gathered together to eat her famous fried chicken. We all loved and benefitted from her kindness, loyalty, giving spirit, and she always helped each one. She filled our homes with her special gifts and her great natural talent for beautiful crafting and sewing. She was treasured and we will all miss her.
