Megan H. Williams, Esq, aged 35 of Nashville, TN, lost a rapid and brutal battle against cancer on March 29, 2021. Born in Madison, TN to Dr. Ken and Juanita Williams, after big sister Jamie and before little brother Ben, she lived life as the opposite of a typical middle child and always strove to stand out. From the start, she chose adventure over the mundane. Attending space camp as a child, she dreamed of reaching the stars. Life took her in a different direction to attend Depaul University in Chicago for undergrad and Florida Coastal School of Law. She passed the TN bar in 2011, started her own law firm in 2012, and transitioned to Cordell and Cordell in 2014. In 2016 she was named a Top 40 under 40 member of the National Advocates.
But her main passion in life was always adventure. After traveling to most of the US, Europe, China, and UAE with her family, she ventured out on her own to Cambodia, Vietnam, Iceland, and other parts of the world. She fearlessly jumped from a plane and swam with sharks. As a tribute to her adventurous life and because her childhood dream was to go to space, a portion of her remains will have an Earth Orbit Space flight so that every time those who survive her look up, they will see her in the stars. .
She is survived by her parents Dr. Ken and Juanita Williams, siblings Jamie Elliott and Ben Williams and their spouses Matt Elliott and Lindsay Williams, beloved nieces Daphne and Ivy Elliott, hundreds of friends, and her teacup Yorkie Benji. A Celebration of Megan’s life will be held on Saturday, April 10th, at her home church, Parkway Baptist, 505 Cunniff Pkwy, Goodlettsville, TN 37072, at 11:30 a.m. Visitation with the family will take place that morning from 9:30 until the celebration begins.
Flowers are welcome, and other contributions can be made in Megan’s memory to the American Cancer Society: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/mhwjp
. While her life was taken too soon, she “owned every second that this world could give, saw so many places, the things that [she] did … with every breath, She lived”.
