Arilie G Williams

Beloved mother and daughter Arilie Williams passed on December 10, 2021. She is survived by her husband Henry Williams, and children Reina Williams, Henry Jr Williams, Stefanie Williams, Arthur Williams, mother Silveria Martinez, several siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles. Arilie was born on September 2nd, 1979 in Belize City to Thomas and Silveria Martinez. She was the eldest of five children. She spent her early childhood living on a farm raising her siblings while their mother attended school. Her sister died at a young age. In May of 1994, she met her husband Henry Williams and later got married in December 1994. In 1997, she gave birth to her first child Reina Williams. In 1999, Arilie, Henry, and Reina moved to the United States and finally settled in California. In the following years, she had three more children - Henry Williams Jr, Stefanie Williams, and Arthur Williams. Arilie was a very loving and caring person. She would give her last to help someone in need. She was a Sunday school teacher who loved being around children and babies. She especially enjoyed getting the kids ready for the Easter and Christmas plays. Her four children were her life. They were her pride and joy. She left everything she knew back home to give her children more opportunities. She gave them everything they never knew they needed: a big loving family so they would never be alone. As a family, they would go to different stores and if she saw a baby, she would ask to hold the baby and would start singing a little song. It didn't matter who it was, she loved all babies. She had so much love to give. Her love changed this world. She made an impact on everyone she cared for. She was a determined woman who could fix almost anything. The family never needed to hire repairmen, gardeners, or plumbers. She could handle the tough jobs, house repairs, yard work, anything honestly. Even without an education, she could get washing machines, fridges, and almost anything electrical running again. She was incredibly smart, bilingual, and a tough nut that didn't give up. She took all of lifes punches and used them to make her stronger. Arilie was a very thoughtful, compassionate person. She loved her family, friends, and pets with her whole heart. She had the ability to make people feel loved, important, and comfortable to be themselves. Everyone loved her cooking; she had that special touch that no one could recreate. She loved baking, everything to do with flowers, and being creative. On behalf of the family, I would like to thank everyone here today as well as those who have sent their condolences.
