Christine K. Williams

1951 - 2025

Chris, whose father was in the US Army, was born in Nuremberg, Germany, on October 1, 1951. She was a steadfast and joyous Christian who lived the last two decades in Browns Valley, CA, with her devoted husband of 40 years, Ron Williams. After having a heart attack on October 20 2025, Chris succumbed to pneumonia at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital in Santa Rosa, Ca, on December 22, 2025, three days before the celebrated birth of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Chris grew up on the Monterey Peninsula with her six siblings. She graduated from Monterey High School in 1970. After opening and operating her beloved daycare business in her beautiful homes in Ft. Ord, Germany, and Salinas, she and Ron retired and moved to Yuba County. Chris loved being surrounded by the calm and quiet of nature. She devoted her time to her big garden and yard. She held a special place in her heart for God's creatures. She took loving care of her goats, chickens, ducks, doves, finches and hummingbirds. She adored her three little dogs, Spencer, Bella and Mia with whom she would snuggle daily while watching her favorite TV shows and movies. Chris read her Bible every day. She was filled with God's bright light. You could depend on Chris to bring joy, goofiness and laughter to your day and to the many family gatherings she attended. Chris is survived by her husband, Ron Williams, who was a totally dedicated, loving and dependable dad and mentor to her two sons, Rick and Rey, from her first marriage, and to his son, Eddie. Chris was a caring mom to Eddie, whom she considered a son. Chris is also survived by those three sons, Rick Ramirez of St. Louis, MO, Reynold Ramirez of Prunedale, CA, and Eddie Williams of Idaho Falls, ID; and her six siblings: Linda Brown of Williamsburg, VA; Robert Seidel of Monterey, CA; Theresa Houseman of Pacific Grove, CA; Jinny Meyers of Carmel Valley, CA, Andrea Weaghington of Salinas, CA; and Sam Seidel of Charleroi, PA. She was a much-loved grandmother to Noah, Paige, Reyden, Mason, Emma, and Tyler.
