Ann was employed and retired from both the Lakewood Medical Center, now Teche Regional Medical Center and the Teche Action Clinic as a Nutritionist and Dietitian. She was a faithful member of the Good Hope Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Patrick T. Jones, where she was a member of many auxiliaries including the Sunday School where she served as a Sunday School Teacher, the Couples Ministries, but most of all Ann especially enjoyed singing in the choir where she helped to lift up the name of the Lord. Fraternally, she was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorrity, Inc. and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Until her health began to fail, Ann continued after the passing of her husband, the late Allen Franklin Williams, to serve as the sexton and secretary of the Shields Cemetery in Patterson.

Williams of Patterson, LA; one sister, Mildred Ricard of Amite, LA; one brother-in-law, Raphael Williams and his wife Ann of Chula Vista, CA; one sister-in-law, Betty J. Sidney of Glendale, AZ and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
