Jacqueline Williams

Jacqueline Williams, a beloved member of the Las Vegas community, passed away peacefully on February 8, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Born on December 20, 1949, in Las Vegas, Nevada, to Tom Peter Williams and Cleophis Hill Williams, Jacqueline, or Jackie as she was affectionately known, was the epitome of a kind-hearted and independent woman. As a Las Vegas native, she grew up in the Golden West Side of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Jacqueline touched the hearts of many throughout her life with her infectious laughter and unwavering kindness. She dedicated herself to serving the community, retiring from Nevada Power Company, where she was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Works (IBEW).

Jacqueline's dedication extended beyond her professional life. Baptized into the Jehovah’s Witness faith on June 18th, 1983, in Phoenix, AZ, she was a faithful member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Tropical English Congregation; she found solace in her religious community, fellowshipping, engaging in field service, and proclaiming Jehovah’s Kingdom through her heartfelt letters when unable to physically be present service.

Jacqueline's family was the focal point of her world, and she cherished every moment spent with her siblings: Tom Williams (Ruth), Joan Colbert, Barbara Williams, Marjorie Lindsey (Gary), Carl Williams, Ray Williams, Cheryl Williams, and Ivan Williams. Jacqueline maintained close bonds with each of them, embodying the values of love and unity.

In her leisure time, Jacqueline found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved to spend time with friends. She was an avid crocheter, finding comfort and creativity in her craft. Her love for literature took her on countless adventures through the pages of her favorite books, while her passion for travel allowed her to explore new horizons and cultures.

Jacqueline's kitchen was always filled with the aroma of delicious meals, as she delighted in cooking and passing down traditional dishes to her loved ones. Many may remember her culinary creativity from her lemon meringue pies served up at family gatherings or her deliciously savory Gumbo that filled the bellies of loved ones. Jacqueline shared her love through cooking. Her warmth and generosity knew no bounds, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew her.

In honoring Jacqueline's memory, let us remember her laughter, her strength, and her unwavering love for her family and friends. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to have known her.

Jacqueline Williams will forever remain in our hearts, a beacon of joy and inspiration. She leaves behind her former husband, John Edmond, their three sons, Damian Edmond, Daniel Edmond (Grand Prairie, Texas), and Delvin Edmond (Seattle, Washington), her grandchildren, Aiden Edmond and Landan Edmond, and a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, all touched by her love and light.

A gather of family and friends will take place at Palm Northwest, 6701 North Jones Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89131, on March 9, 2024, from 9 AM - 11 AM. A memorial service will follow, beginning at 11 AM.
