Kristy Williams

Kristy Williams, 34, of Lowell, MA passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 31, 2021. She was surrounded by her fiancé and family following her courageous 12 year battle with brain cancer.

Kristy was born in Lowell to Daniel and Gail (Dumond) Williams, who was her best friend. This past September, she became engaged to her soulmate and love of her life, Declan Regan of Lowell.

Kristy attended the Immaculate Conception School in Lowell and proceeded to Lowell Catholic High School, where she excelled academically and athletically as a standout cheerleader and soccer player. She graduated from Lowell Catholic with the Class of 2005 and continued on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Rhode Island. Kristy formed an incredible amount of lifelong friendships with people she met at all three levels of education and left an indelible mark on each of these communities.

Upon graduating from Nursing School, Kristy obtained a job as a Registered Nurse at the Main Campus of Lowell General Hospital. Kristy possessed an incomparable level of compassion for each patient that she treated. She was recognized for her patience, tireless work-ethic, and uncanny ability to listen to her patients and appropriately address their needs. Although she began her nursing career before being diagnosed with brain cancer, she would eventually volunteer at the hospital to serve as a source of inspiration for individuals who were being treated for similar conditions.

Among her favorite activities were shopping, traveling, visiting the beach, and relaxing with her beloved dog, Penny. Above all, Kristy cherished spending time with her family, her fiancé, and her many, many friends. The term "social butterfly" does not do her justice. She was always the life of the party, and she was never satisfied until everyone was having fun. Her glowing smile and infectious laugh were contagious, and she was unforgettable to everyone who met her.

Despite being afflicted with a horrific illness, Kristy never allowed a cancer diagnosis to define her. She was always a "cancer survivor" and was a remarkable fighter. She never once complained and accomplished more than anyone could imagine in 34 years on this earth. Kristy was truly a one in a million person, and she will be immensely missed. However, her memories will forever live on in the hearts and minds of anyone who knew her. She was an angel who was too good for this world and has now been relieved of her suffering. Never stop sharing your stories of Kristy and remember her whenever you see a rainbow or a sunflower. May she rest in peace.

Besides her parents and fiancé, Kristy is survived by her brother, Patrick Williams, and his wife Rachel of Chelmsford; their children, Avery and Sean whom she spoiled greatly and loved dearly; as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She is predeceased by her paternal grandparents: Paul and Patricia Williams, her maternal grandparents Lloyd and Louella Dumond, and her uncle Richard Williams.

Kristy's family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the team of doctors and nurses at Mass General Hospital for their efforts over the last 12 years.
