Ann E. Williams

Ann Elizabeth (White) Williams, age 86, passed away peacefully at her home in Hendersonville, Tennessee on March 27, 2026, following a prolonged illness.

Born to John Walton White and Margaret Northington White of Nashville, Ann lived a life rooted in faith, family, and community. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, Navy Veteran Nicholas Michael Williams; her son, John Charles Williams; and her parents.

She is lovingly remembered by her children, Patrick Michael Williams (Deborah) and Ann Bernadette “Bunny” Borromeo (Paul). She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Johnathan T. Williams, Michael D. Williams, and Elizabeth C. “Beth” Borromeo.

Ann found joy in the simple and meaningful things in life. She was an avid quilter and seamstress, a devoted reader, and enjoyed square dancing, bowling, and playing pinochle. She also gave generously of her time, calling bingo for friends at Vitality Assisted Living, bringing laughter and companionship to many.

A woman of deep faith, Ann was a longtime member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Hendersonville, where she formed lasting friendships and remained active in her parish community.
