Gidget's life was a testament of love, loyalty, and laughter. She was a devoted wife to Sidney Williams III, whom she married on August 3, 2019. Their union was the culmination of over 30 years of friendship and love, a bond that was as unshakeable as it was joyful. Together, they created a home filled with warmth, music, and laughter.

A proud mother, Gidget's heart swelled with love for her only daughter, Gia Seaborn and her fur-babies Ace and Mylo. Her family was her world, and she was the beloved sister of Khalilah, Troy, and Bre'anne Williams. As an aunt, she embraced her nieces and nephews—Devontae Hall, Katerra Williams, Alije' Williams, Devontae Smith-Hall, Maurice Muse, Maur'ron Williams, Emile Bell III, and Tiana Williams—with maternal affection, guiding them with her wisdom and joy. Gidget also was blessed in marriage to have Mother-in-law, Lillie Williams and father-in-law, Sidney Williams, Jr., as well as two sisters in law, Zena Williams and Dana Gallien.

Gidget's educational journey began at Lawrence D. Crocker Elementary and Samuel James Green Middle School; culminating with her graduation from McDonogh 35 Senior High in 1991. She pursued her passion for caring for others by studying Nursing at Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA.

Her compassionate nature led to a fulfilling career at Assurant in Atlanta, GA, where she served as a Senior Processor for over 20 years. Her dedication and professional integrity left a lasting impression on colleagues and clients alike.

Gidget's faith was a cornerstone of her life. She was an active member of St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church in New Orleans, where she sang with the choir, lifting spirits with her beautiful alto voice. Her faith journey continued in Atlanta at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church and later at St. Lucy Catholic Church in Houma, LA, where she was a cherished member of the community. She was also a member of the Order of Eastern Stars (OES).

Her passions went beyond her professional and spiritual life. Gidget was a devoted fan of Mary J. Blige, attending concerts with the enthusiasm of a true fan. She was a loyal supporter of the New Orleans Saints, cheering them on with unwavering dedication. A proud member of the Zulu Club Lady Lieus and considerate member of her community, her generosity knew no bounds. Gidget was a woman who would give you the clothes off her back; always putting the needs of others before her own.

Gidget's spirit was as vibrant as her smile, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her. Though she may never meet the grandchildren who would carry her traditions, her legacy will live on through the love she shared with her husband, daughter, family, and friends. In honoring Gidget's life, we celebrate a woman whose warmth and selflessness touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She will be deeply missed by Sidney, Gia, her mother, and siblings; yet her spirit will continue to inspire us every day.
