Jean M. (Reynolds) Williams 1959  -  2009

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.

Born Jean M. Reynolds to John and Helen (Girouard) Reynolds on August 8, 1959, she joined two brothers, William Reynolds and Daniel Reynolds. She was a 1977 graduate of Leominster High School and was a member of St. Anna's Church. She married Barry W. Williams on November 25, 1978 and had two children, Jonathan Williams and Sarah (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, July 21, 2009 from the Silas F. Richardson & Son Funeral Home, 106 West Street, Leominster with a mass at 10 am in St. Anna's Church, 194 Lancaster Street, Leominster. Burial will be in St. Leo's Cemetery, Leominster. Calling hours will be held on Monday, July 20, 2009 from 5-8 pm in the funeral home.
