Mrs. Carolyn Williams was a visionary and a true colleague. I remember while working at Roosevelt High School (I was the school's music instructor), We combined students from her travel classes and my music classes and took a busload of students to New York City. She insisted that the students needed an opportunity to visit Radio City Music Hall to witness the "Christmas Spectacular Show staring the Rockettes". We also took them to the site of 'Ground Zero'. Then the students had 90 minutes to go shopping in NYC. Mrs. Williams' smile was infectious, and that one trip together will always be apart of wonderful memories of imparting experiences in our future leaders.

MY sincere condolences to Lolita and the
Rest of the Ousley and Williams family.
I graduated from John Adams High School
(home of the Rebels) with Carolyn in 1959.
Also attended St. Andrews Episcopal Church, and enjoyed Pilgrim Fellowship meetings.
Although I haven't seen Carolyn in
years I think about her when I pass her former home on Scottsdale Blvd.
Her wonderful smile and sparkling personality
Will always be remembered.
Sincerely,
Kathleen (Walker) Jeffries, Cleveland, Ohio

One of the loveliest members of People's Congregational Church. Her absence will be a consequential loss to the HEART and SPIRIT of the

To the Williams Family. May the Lord comfort you in these hours of sorrow. Gain your strength in your many memories of times shared with your Mom. I met Carolyn many years ago as we both were working in our individual school districts in developing programs for the National Academy Foundation in New York. Our friendship grew over the years and we looked forward to our Annual Summer Conferences where we would share many good times. Take comfort in knowing that Carolyn is now in a better place and is at PEACE.

Dear Ousley and Williams families,
Carolyn's intelligence, integrity, industrious and inspirational ways catapulted her far beyond the realm of an ordinary woman. She, my friends, was an extraordinary individual. I'll miss Dionne and Holly telling me about their fabulous and lovely auntie. You guys have been so, so blessed.
Peace, love, and all good things.
