Theresa A. Williams

Theresa Augusta Williams (Thomas), passed away peacefully, on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at Renaissance Rehabilitation Center in Canton, Illinois surround by her family. Theresa was 84 years old.

She was born on September 16, 1940, in the Bronzeville area. She is preceded in death by her husband Jimmie Francis Williams in 1989, her mother Lois (Carter) in 2016, and a brother Gregory Hill in 2012.

Theresa is survived by her and Jimmie’s eight children, Anthony, Joseph, Angela, Jansen, Terrence, Travis, Francine, and Arianne, ten grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, one sister Christy Hill, several nieces and nephews and cousins.

Along with being a homemaker, Theresa served in the homecare and food service industries, including St. Xavier College and Chicago Public Schools from which she retired in 2010. Theresa is remembered as a loyal neighbor that truly cared about her community and made it her mission to keep her block, lawn and street clean, and looking good.

She will be sorely missed by her family and longtime friends. A huge thank you to the Renaissance family for such amazing care for our mom. God bless you all!

Cremation rites will be accorded with Oaks-Hines Funeral Home in Canton. Memorials may be made to Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, 1140 West Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60607, or www.mercyhome.org.
