In memoriam: Donna Williams

Donna M. Williams

Donna Williams, an original Terrace resident who moved to be with family last year, has died. Her official obituary as published on Legacy.com:

Donna M. Powell Williams, 81, of Ft. Ann and formerly of 10 Hyland Circle (Terrace at Highpointe) in Troy, beloved wife of the late Thomas C. Williams, peacefully entered into eternal life in the loving care of her son Jeffrey at his home on Sunday, February 23. 

Born in Troy, she was the daughter of the late William and Lucy Delcogliano Powell and was a graduate of Troy High School and SUNY Utica where she earned her master's degree in nursing. Donna was a proud and dedicated nurse for 50 years, having been employed at St. Mary's Hospital in Troy until she was transferred to Samaritan Hospital in Troy where she retired as the patient care coordinator. There was nothing more that Donna loved than being a nurse. 

Devoted mother of Jeffrey T.  Williams (fiancé Cherie Benham), cherished grandmother of Connor Williams, Ryan Williams, Owen Williams and Hayden Benham, also survived by several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her siblings. 

Spring interment will be held in the Poultney Cemetery, Poultney, VT. Donna's family would like to express their special and sincere appreciation to High Peaks Hospice for all of their care and guidance. Those desiring, may make memorial contributions to High Peaks Hospice, 1247 Dix Avenue, Hudson Falls, NY 12839, in memory of Donna M. Williams.
