Lucille “Candy” Williams, 79, of Ambridge, passed away on March 4th, 2026.

She was born on December 15th, 1946, and was preceded in death by her parents, Georgella and Raven Williams, her mother, Beatrice Kimbrough, her lifelong companion, Samuel Blair, her brothers, Otis “Uncle Sam” Smith and Raven Williams, her sister, Mary Catherine Williams, her maternal grandparents, Henry and Birdie Bratton, her uncles, Phillip, Luther, and Henry Bratton, her aunt, Carrie McIver, her nephew, Phillip James Bratton and her special friends: Sissy Cooper, Jackie and Herman Joyner, Carol Underwood, and Debbie Allison. She is survived by her sons, Mikee (Kelly) Williams and Maury (Vena) Williams, her sister, Roberta “Wendy” Kimbrough, her brother, Phillip (Pamela) Bratton, her nieces and nephews: Damon (Jaime) Bratton, Darnell (Tracy) Bratton, Teylore Bratton, Sheree Bratton, Devonte Allison, and Durann Allison; as well as her grandchildren: Dylan (Autumn) Norris, Auni Williams, Laylay Williams, Isaac Williams, and Sonny “Baby Boy” Williams; as well as her special friend, Joanne Berry, her special roommate, Joan Marie Robinson, her special cousins, the Berry and Yokley families, as well as numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, and a host of friends throughout Ambridge.

After Lucille graduated from high school, she joined Job Corps where she learned several trades, but her passion ultimately led her to the medical field. She worked for more than 30 years as a respiratory technician at Bellevue Suburban Hospital in Pennsylvania. She later worked at the Ambridge Municipal Office until her retirement, and continued serving others by working a few days a week providing in-home care for the elderly. In time, she fully retired and devoted herself to enjoying life with her family, whom she loved dearly. She was known for her cooking, especially her black-eyed peas and her delicious linguine. She also enjoyed sitting on her porch, talking with friends, and sharing spirited conversations: often playfully arguing with her late brother, Otis.

A visitation will be held on Wednesday, March 11th, from 4 P.M. until the time of the funeral service at 6 P.M. at Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation, LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge, who was in charge of her arrangements.
