Antoinette "Toni" Williams passed away Friday November 11, 2016surrounded by family at her home in Newport Coast. She is survived by her husband Jim Williams (retired chairman of Golden State Foods); brother Paul Milazzo; children Kathy Devranos, Connie Davis and Scott Conrad; grandchildren Leigh Anne Brown, Dina Hemmi, Gina Sun, Vinnie Torrente and Erica Hernandez; and 13 great grandchildren.

Toni enjoyed an active loving life, gaining greatest happiness from daily contact with her family, and from accompanying her husband and many friends traveling the world for business or pleasure. Whatever event or social benefit Toni was asked to host, she would ensure that everyone felt welcomed, happy, and loved. Toni is most fondly remembered for her hospitality and generosity during the Christmas holidays, where she would host many parties welcoming large numbers of family and friends from around the world into her home.

Toni shared with her husband a lifetime passion for motorsports and was known for her hospitality and warmth throughout the racing community. Whether at facilities owned by her husband, or at events where she was an enthusiastic supporter and sponsor, she was constantly sought after because of her genuine warmth and generous friendship.

A lifetime member of the Roman Catholic Church, Toni was an devoted supporter and parishioner of Our Lady Queen of Angels church in Newport Beach. Toni enjoyed active participation in various Catholic endeavors. One of the many highlights of her life was to attend an audience with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.
