Cynthia "Grace" Williams

Cynthia "Grace" Williams, 72, of Hartford, wife of Trevor Alvinston Williams, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sunday, April 14, 2019, at St. Francis Hospital. Born in Free Hill, St. Mary, Jamaica, West Indies on March 19, 1947, daughter of the late Austin Carter and Cotilda(Brown) Jones, she was raised in Jamaica and migrated to the United States when she was 26 years old. Cynthia worked as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) for most of her career and retired from Mediplex of Wethersfield in 2010 after over 30 years of service. In her spare time, she enjoyed volunteering at FoodShare in Bloomfield, cooking for her family and friends, and spending time with her family. Cynthia was always the light-hearted comedian in her family and could be very sarcastic with her quick comebacks no matter what someone said. This outgoing personality was coupled with a caring, selfless, loving heart which Cynthia shared with everyone. Most of all, she will be remembered as the caregiver of her family who loved everyone unconditionally. She was a longtime member of St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Hartford where she took part in many missions and functions within the life of the church. Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her passing, five children, Trevor Williams of Trelawny, Jamaica, Georgia Lawrence and her husband Andrew of Windsor, Claudia James and her husband Randolf of Bloomfield, Everal O. Williams and his wife Dawn of Meriden, and Craig A. Williams and his wife Lisa of Bloomfield; eight grandchildren, Naddeen McKenzie, Nikaylia Lawrence, both of Windsor , Raheem James and Kanesha James both of Bloomfield, Domonique Williams and Destini Williams both of Meriden, and Craig J.
