Jean M. (Reynolds) Williams, 49 years old, of
Leominster, died peacefully at home with her family by her side,
Saturday, July 18, 2009, after a lengthy illness.

and was a member of St. Anna's Church. She married Barry W. Williams on

(Williams) Mayer.
Jean was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife,
mother and friend. She was a very caring person, always concerned for
others before herself. She loved life, which showed in her beautiful
smile, a smile that made her waitressing days at Friendly's, Monty's and
the Gondola so very special to so many people. For the past 10 years she
worked in customer service at the David Clark Co. in Worcester. Jean
enjoyed spending time on Cape Cod, going to various casinos and playing
the Massachusetts State Lottery.
Jean was an inspiration to all during her
courageous seven year battle with cancer. She never gave up, she never
complained, she never showed the pain she was going through. She touched
the hearts of so many in her lifetime, leaving behind so many wonderful
memories for all to hold onto as her suffering has ended and she has
gone in peace.
Jean is survived by her mother, Helen Reynolds;
her father, John Reynolds died in 2007; her brothers, William and Daniel Reynolds; her loving husband Barry
Williams; her son Jonathan Williams; her daughter Sarah Mayer and
husband Seth Mayer; her grandsons Brett Williams, Hunter Gallant and Colten Artist; as well as her expected first granddaughter and her
faithful companion Gadget. She is also survived by many brothers-in-law,
sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. She will be very much missed by all
and all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday,

Anna's Church, 194 Lancaster Street, Leominster. Burial will be in St.
Leo's Cemetery, Leominster. Calling hours will be held on Monday,
