Patricia Joyce Williams

She was taken from us peacefully early Tuesday morning, January 17, 2023 at age 69. She had been diagnosed with cancer one year prior. Patty was born in Burbank, CA on August 13, 1953 and moved to Manhattan Beach in 1960. She grew up on 26th street, where she developed a lifelong friendship with Patti Garritano (Luecke). Patty graduated from Aviation High school in 1971. Soon after, she was hired by Skychefs and was able to fly (for free) regularly to see her family overseas. Years later, she worked various roles at Setco (bottling company) and then Calpack. In 1990, Patty married Craig Owen Williams (deceased) and soon after stayed home to raise their two boys, Brian Baker Williams (31) and Robert (Bobby) Philip Williams (30) in Hawthorne. Patty was mother-in-law to Emily Ann Williams (Beaupre) and Grandma Moo-Moo to Owen Beaupre Williams (2) and a baby girl due April 2023. Patty moved to San Diego with her son's family in 2020, and adored spending time with her grandson every day. She was the daughter of Frank Baker Clifford (deceased) and Hilda Winifred Clifford (deceased). She was the sister to Marilyn Margaret Eggleton (Alan), sister-in-law to Lisa Rice (Dennis), Marla Secord (Dave), and Doug Williams (Tricia). She was Aunt Patty to Christopher, Heather and Kim (deceased) of England; Elisabeth; Mindy; Chris; Kelly, Laura and Eric, and great aunt to sixteen. She will forever be known for her fun and warm spirit. She was a fierce optimist who always knew how to have a good time. We can all continue her legacy by smiling through whatever life throws at us. Cheers! Celebration of life to be held on February 18th from 1-4pm at 4232 Waimea Drive, Huntington Beach, CA.
