Henrietta Williams

Henrietta "Hank" D. Williams

The heart and soul of our family, our mom, grandma, and grandma grandma, Henrietta Williams left this world September 4, 2025, to move on to her next journey. Born in Taos, New Mexico, to William "Bill" and Mary (Gonzales) Youngbauer on February 19, 1948. Mom was the third of eight children.

Mom was a proud graduate of the Tooele High School class of 1966. She attended Salt Lake Community College obtaining an office specialist certificate. A retiree from the State of Utah's Department of Workforce Services, she also worked as a cashier at 7-11, janitor at Tooele Army Depot, and cashier at the 76 Truckstop over the years.

Her family relocated to Utah when she was young. Family was ever important, growing up with family get-togethers via a quick visit back "home" or gathering siblings and their families together to celebrate holidays or taking a random opportunity of being together. Mom carried the importance of those family and friend celebrations into her everyday life hosting many events at her own home.

Henrietta married Adam "John" Williams, later divorced. Thy had four daughters, Dorothy, Linda, Debbie, and Leslie. She absolutely adored her grandchildren, Ashley, Joshua, Adam, and Jordyn with even more love shared with her great-grandchildren, Peyton, Titus, and Atreus. Nor can we forget her favorite grandpuppies, Rolo and Gizmo.

A sports fan, Henrietta was likely to be found cheering on her favorite teams. Hands down, though, she'd be cheering for her favorite San Francisco 49ers or whichever team her kids, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren were playing for.

Survived by three of her daughters: Dorothy, Debbie and spouse Jennifer, and Leslie; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; sister Shirley Bruemmer; brothers Floyd Youngbauer and Issac Youngbauer; aunt, cousins, nieces and nephews here and in New Mexico, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, and California. Extended family John and Pauline Chacon.

Preceded in death by her parents; daughter Linda, and son-in-law Joe; siblings: Johnny Youngbauer, Bernice and brother-in-law Eddie Espinoza, Matthew Youngbauer, Paul Youngbauer, and sister-in-law Della.

Mom's services are scheduled for Thursday, September 25, 2025, at St. Marguerite Catholic Church, 15 South 7th Street, Tooele, Utah. A viewing will be held from 10-10:30 a.m., Rosary at 10:30 a.m. Funeral Mass will begin at 11 a.m. Mom will be laid to rest at the Tooele City Cemetery.
