Michelle Elaine Williams

Their mother immediately went to work after Michelle was born. Michelle’s older sisters, Carolyn Williams-Quinn, Beatrice Williams, and Patricia Williams helped their mother and father raise Michelle. The Williams Family was excited to welcome a new addition to the family.

In 1988, Michelle received her formal education in the San Diego Unified School District, graduating from Gompers Secondary School.

Michelle worked at Bank of America as a bank teller. She also became a licensed Cosmetologist, following in her mother’s footsteps. In 2007, Michelle began working with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System driving the #11 bus route. Michelle enjoyed providing transportation to the Community, family and friends. Her sister Beatrice Lynn would sometimes ride with her.

On April 2, 2022, Michelle dedicated her life to Jehovah by water baptism at the Chollas Heights Congregation. Her greatest love was to Jehovah. She taught her family, friends, neighbors, and everyone she came in contact with about Jehovah’s wonderful promise to mankind; if we study his word the bible, teach others, and remain faithful as Jesus Christ did.

Michelle Elaine Williams fell asleep in death on August 9, 2024. She was a Beloved Sister, Aunt, and the youngest of her siblings. Her passion in life was to give and take care of others; she always had a smile and loved to love and be loved. She always saw beyond this life and looked forward to seeing the new world with her late mother, father, brothers, family and friends. She has finished her race for life and is safe in Jehovah’s memory. We look forward to the day that Jehovah brings back all our loved ones.

(Job 14:13-15)

Michelle was preceded in death by her Mother Ossie Williams in 2006, Father Frank Williams in 1993, brothers James Isaac Williams in 1985 and Mark Allen Williams in 1959.

Michelle leaves a legacy of love to her four siblings, Carolyn Yvonne Williams-Quinn, Anthony Wayne “Frank Jr.” Williams, Beatrice Lynn Williams and Patricia Elaine Williams.

Auntie Michelle, you may be gone but your love, guidance, and memories live on. Forever etched in my heart, A treasure to cherish, never to part.

Laughter-filled gatherings,wisdom shared, memories treasure forever spared. I wished to show you,one last time, how far I've come, how grown-up I've climbed.

Your pride and joy, I longed to see, but even apart, your love stays with me. This Saturday, we say goodbye, but your love and influence never die.

In me, in us, your values shine, A guiding light, forever divine. One day, I'll see you again, in a brighter place, where love reigns.

Free from pain, full of delight, Together again,in endless light. Rest in peace, dear auntie, dear heart, your memory and love forever in our hearts. We love you dearly.

My Aunt Michelle had a loving and giving spirit.i remember her doing my braiding bead styles for my hair as a child, taking me on trips to Disneyland or shopping in Los Angeles at The garment district. Every time my auntie Michelle was around it was a breath of fresh air! She loved to spend time with her family. My auntie Michelle is the biggest motivation for me going into the field of finances as I remember her working for Bank of America as a child and I aspired to be like her. She was a very fun person to be around. She was always a joy, and had a great sense of humor. My auntie Michelle was playful and friendly and many of the best childhood memories including my beautiful auntie Michelle. I am going to miss her laugh and her positivity. I love you auntie Michelle you will always be in my heart for always. I will never forget to love you have for your family. You will truly be missed. Rest easy auntie shell.

Love, Aviance (Jessica)

To my auntie Michelle

My earliest memories with you, where lots of laughter teasing and chasing around Grandma's house. I mean we were literally like Tom and Jerry cartoons I used to watch as a kid. For this reason we were definitely more like brother and sisters, that were 12 years apart. With all our antics I don't know how Grandma and granddad dealt with our chaotic energy. Those were fun time, that of course flew by too fast. I remember the funny rhymes you used to say to make us laugh. They were hilarious, I'd love how when we had gatherings at my mom's place you would be there and we would eat good and joke and play. You,my sisters, and my cousins, sometimes my other two aunts. I remember going to Knott's Berry farm, Disneyland, and universal studios with you. We even took a train up to LA to the garment district, Grandma, you, and myself. There you bought me all four Ninja turtle action figures. I was so happy. What a fun trip. As a young adult after grandad died and eventually Grandma things got very hard for me but you stuck it out with me giving me tough love and advice when I needed it. For all this I'm always grateful my sweet auntie shell.

Love, Leon

Auntie shell has always given warmth to those around her. Her smile,her heart,her mind, and her soul created a sense of bond that always seems to brighten everyone's day. I always felt secure in her arms as she gave me hugs,I felt warm, nurtured, and I could feel love. I felt her soul touch mine as she spoke to me. No matter how bad or upset I was feeling her words and laugh resonated through me and gave me a boost. I shared many fond memories of auntie Michelle my fondest memory was when I had a visited San Diego in 2019 me along with auntie Michelle, auntie Lynn, Alicia,and Joseph had gotten the best carne asada fries, went to the store and bought snacks to sneak into the movie theaters. while we giggled buying the tickets, we had watch Aquaman that day, and we all couldn't stop gushing and giggling about Jason Mamoa on the way back. It's one of the most favorite memories that I have in this life. So much I wish to take it to the next. Even though I cried and had distress at the sudden news. I will not cry anymore. I won't cry at the fact she is gone, I will celebrate the fact she was here. I rejoice in the news that I have been able to meet and love such a person. Thank you auntie Shelly for giving us the experience of a lifetime.

Love, Vaya

Auntie Michelle:

I remember Auntie Michelle was very sweet. I remember when her and Auntie Lynn came to one of my birthday parties at Chuck E Cheese when I was younger. She also gave me a tinker bell doll as a gift, and I had it for years. I remember visiting her and Auntie Lynn a few times in San Diego over these past few years. Auntie Michelle was a very beautiful woman with a very beautiful soul. I loved her smile. And I'm glad the last thing I said to her was "Hi Auntie Shell, I love you." Dear Auntie Shell, thank you for being in my life. I'm very happy to have had you as my great aunt and I appreciate all the love that you gave me. I'm going to miss you, I hope you rest in peace.

Michelle Williams, my auntie Michelle aka Shelly belly. A sister, auntie, great aunt, daughter and friend!

First of all I wanna give praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the blessing of time with happiness we got to share with Auntie Michelle. She was a sweet, loving, selfless person. She was kind hearted and always gave. Ok guys I'm already tearing up. I'm going to try and make this short and sweet as she always was.

Ohh my Auntie Michelle! I can go back as far as auntie shelly doing my hair in beads when I was little. I remember getting my hair done at grandma's house on grandads chair and what seemed like a long time on the floor getting my scalp pulled lol!

By what grandma always said with her heavy hands! For those who don't know, that is what the urban culture say when someone Braids with a tight grip.

Any how, I always enjoy going over grandmas and spending time with her. TMI guys but who cares it shows how much I love her, but I used to clip her toenails and polish them. I was good at it and she started to pay me. I was excited about that.

I have so many memories of auntie Michelle over at my mom house for Family get togethers, and her taking us to Disneyland and sometimes going with grandad and grandma to pick her up from work at bank of America.

I can say that I have so many memories of her. Her love for us and our love for her will always be in our heart as if she never left.

You will be forever loved and most of all you'll never be forgotten. We LOVE YOU AUNTIE SHELLY!

~ Your niece Tricy!
