Annie Williams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 1 to Feb. 5, 2019.
Annie Elizabeth Williams

Our beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, and dear friend, Annie Elizabeth Williams passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 24, 2019. Only 24-years-old, Annie was born at Marin General Hospital on January 21, 1994 to Sean and Bari (Kelleher) Williams. She grew up in Ross, California where she attended Marin Primary School. Later, she attended boarding school at Middlebridge School in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Passionate about fashion, cooking, and music, Annie would light up an entire room when she laughed. She dearly loved her father, sister, and brothers, cherishing every moment they spent together. She was caring and helpful, always taking every opportunity to lend a hand with tasks such as cooking, shopping, or simply picking up her siblings. Having only recently gotten her driver's license, she loved driving — anywhere and everywhere -- and had a passion for travel, near or far. Annie will always be remembered for her beautiful, piercing blue eyes, curly blond hair, and wonderfully warm smile.

Annie had an opportunity to study in Europe on two separate occasions during college and she was looking forward to exploring the world after graduating from Westminster College.

When you think of Annie, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is precious and short and should be lived to the fullest.

Preceded in death by her mother, Bari Kelleher Williams, Annie leaves behind her father, Sean; sister, Katherine; brothers, Harrison and Charlie; grandparents, Don and Donna Kelleher; her beloved cousins, George, Henry, James, William, Jack, and Megan; Aunts Valerie, Leigh, Lorna, and Samantha; and Uncles Doug, Paul, and Jamie.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made in Annie's name to:
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 135 Main St #1030, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Or to The Madison Clinic for Pediatric Diabetes-Benioff Children's Hospital-UCSF, 1500 Owens St Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94158.

What a crazy year its been since I was last on here. Though Ive made some stupid mistakes along the way I have certainly tried manage and keep hanging in there. Got two new jobs that I love for the most part, a new niece though I Haven't met her yet, and Portlands finally seeing some actual sunshine that stays longer then a couple of hours. I still miss our late night FaceTimes and us reminiscing about how MBS wasn't all that bad. Which it certainly wasn't but it had its moments. Love and Miss you always.

Annie's smile and positivity were absolutely infectious, and I always knew I'd be in for a fun day when she was around. I still fondly remember us behaving like stereotypical Californians to make each other laugh. Annie was an amazing friend and my life will never be the same for knowing her.

Annie Williams you were a one of a kind and always knew just what to say to make me smile. You always were one of the first ones to remind me to have fun when days got dark. Always calling me Tavs and I always calling you Dubs. it makes me smile knowing that you and me continued our journey after Middlebridge and knowing that you and I started together. You helped me see the light.
Thank you for bringing my mom and I closer together and for being a part of my family. She loved you so much Annie. All of us Tavill's did.
I love you Annie. Always will. You're the best.

We didn't talk a ton, but the times we did, were happy conversations. Little snippets. After school, you reached out a few times, we had a short chat. I'm still in shock. I just remember you always smiling, having a blast, living life to your fullest. I can't think of a single moment you frowned in earnest. You'll forever be missed.
