Connie White Williams

She leaves a huge hole in the hearts of her family, friends who were always entertained by her stories, and hilarious sense of humor. She truly brought life to the party.

She was born in New Roads, La, to Martha and the late Williams White on January 06, 1964. She was the 10th of eleven children. At an early age, Connie accepted Christ as her savior. She was baptized at Ebenezer Baptist Church under the leadership of the Late Rev. Q. T. Ellis.

Connie's early education began in Baton Rouge, where she graduated from Capitol Senior High. She ran track but decided it was not for her and that her ultimate passion was dancing, so she became a booster. She later moved to Virginia Beach and continued her education earning her Associate Degree in Business from the College of Virginia. Connie later returned to Baton Rouge, La, where she met the late Corey Williams and joined in marriage on March 20, 2004. She held multiple jobs at BREC, LSU Events, and East Baton Rouge Parish School at one time for many years until her health declined to cause her to retire.

Connie immediately lit up any room she entered and made an impact on so many people. She was a joyful presence with her vibrant clothes, beautiful hair, creative fashion choices, and bubbly personality. She loved her cousins, family and friends and filled her home with warmth and kindness.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Corey Williams; father; Williams White; grandparents, James White & Alberta Ellis and Mary and Joe Edwards; aunts, Laura Edwards, Rosemary Hodges; uncles, Leonard Edwards, Lewis Edwards; sisters, Angela White & Marylin Dixon; brother, Alton Edwards; grandchild, Javonte’ Johnson; brothers-in-law, Joseph Kleinpeter, Robert Maxie, Joe Chaney, Leslie Collins; niece, Tikiea Sheppard; and nephews, Lionel Washington, Joshua Washington, Jakallian Williams, and Jamone Williams.
