Louella Williams Obituary

Louella Soniat Williams, age 67, transitioned into her heavenly home on Sunday, May 3, 2020. She received caring and compassionate care during her battle against COVID-19. She was born on December 5, 1952 in New Orleans, La. and was a lifelong resident of Kenner, La. Louella valued her work at Ochsner Hospital, enjoyed her community and enjoyed devoting most of her time to her family. She is preceded in death by her father, Joseph Soniat, her mother, Theresa Lyons Soniat, and two sons, Larry Williams, Jr. and Lance Williams. Left to cherish her memories are her two children, Lenise Williams and Lawrence Williams (Kelly). Louella also leaves behind four grandchildren whom she adored: Marcus Bryant, Jr., Troy Williams, Evan Bryant, and Lawren Williams. Also mourning her loss are her ten siblings: Germaine Nash, Mary Thompson (Louis), Mona Frazier, JoAnn Benjamin, Veronica Van Buren, Belinda Soniat, Joseph C. Soniat (Michelle), Bryan Soniat (Charlyn), Dale Dawson and Gale Soniat as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Due to restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, her services will be private and reserved for immediate family. When the situation allows, a celebration of her life will be held for her many family and friends. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Richardson Funeral Home of Jefferson, River Ridge, La.

I only knew Miss Lou for a short period. But she had such a sweet spirit that left a lasting impression, I'm sure she has earned her place in heaven. I pray that her family will have the peace, that surpasses all understanding. I'm praying that God will give her family and friends strength. God Bless!
