Bertha Ann Williams, lovingly known as Bertha Ann Boddy was born on May 5, 1956 in Saint Louis, Missouri. Bertha was the cherished daughter of Esther Mae Boddy and Joe Boddy. Bertha was a vibrant and outspoken woman, known for her strong business acumen and passion for cooking and decorating. A proud graduate of Sumner High School in 1973, she furthered her education at Lindenwood College, earning a degree in Business Administration in 1982. Bertha dedicated her professional life to Southwestern Bell, where she excelled from Communications Manager to Sales Manager, leading her to Pleasanton, California, where she continued to thrive. Returning to Saint Louis, Bertha joined in holy matrimony with Trevor Benet Williams. Their beautiful union brought forth two beloved sons, Trevor Benet Williams Jr. and Daniel Ryan Williams, along with her dear daughter Joy A. Preston from a previous relationship. Bertha’s legacy lives on through her loving family: her daughter Joy, her sons Trevor and Daniel, their wives Amber Williams and Destiny Jenkins, and her five cherished grandchildren—Ashlee Preston, Koree Hayden, Kobe Hayden, Cadence Williams, and Solace Williams. She is also survived by many cousins and friends who will forever remember her warmth, kindness, and unwavering spirit. Though Bertha’s time with us has ended, her memory will forever remain in our hearts. She leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and the joy of family, and we take comfort in knowing she is now at peace with the Lord.
