Wilma Kim Lelia Williams
September 27, 1936- July 26, 2024
Wilma Kim Lelia Williams, daughter of the late Mathilda Espinay and Theophelas Williams, was a beacon of strength, grace, and resilience. Born on September 27, 1936, in Trinidad and Tobago, she led a life that was full of diversity and culture, marked by both accomplishments and personal challenges. Passing away on July 26, 2024, in Montreal, Quebec, her legacy remains indelible. Facing the death of her mother from cancer at age 25 was a pivotal moment, but Wilma found strength and solace under the care of her maternal aunt. This close-knit familial support included her brother, sisters, and cousins, providing a foundation of love and resilience. Wilma’s spirit of determination led her to migrate to Montreal, Canada, in 1963, where she pursued higher education at Sir George Williams University. Her passion for fashion saw her evolving from a secretary in Trinidad & Tobago into a model dazzling international shows in Paris, France. She eventually transitioned to a successful career as a fashion designer and boutique owner, leaving a long lasting mark on the industry. Wilma’s sucess as a fashion designer and boutique owner afforded her to take care of her children and support family and friends. Wilma, as a single mother, raised her three children with unwavering love and dedication, ensuring their every need was met. Her tenacity and protection of her family were legendary, and she emerged as a respected pillar of her community through her kindness and service. A significant part of her journey involved reuniting her family in Montreal, showing her relentless dedication to family unity. She was known for her open-door policy in Little Burgundy, where her home became a sanctuary of delicious food, heartfelt conversations, and joyous dancing for friends and family. Her faith deeply influenced her life, guiding her back to her Christian roots, where she dedicated her later years to serving God, helping those who needed guidance and assistance, and supporting her community. Survived by her sister Rebecca Abraham and cousins Rose Williams, Edward Williams and Bernice Williams. Her children: Mark Williams, Lisa Brathwaite and Karen Lacrette. Her grandchildren: Briana Williams, Kareem Brathwaite-Henry (wife Aniqa Hannan) Kayla Williams, Nathaniel Robitaille, Quinn Williams, Marcus Brathwaite-Henry, Joel Williams Roberts, Tyrese Lovelace, Mikaela Desmarteaux-Williams. Her great grandchildren: Myles Tabet Williams, Ayah Henry. Her nieces: Joanne Adams (husband Rohl Mayers) and Debbie Adams and Lisa Williams Richardson. Her nephews: Gary Williams and Dexter Percy. Her great nieces: Shenisa Mayers and Krissia Cruickshank. Her great nephews: Anthony Mayers (wife Iylia Nurliyana) and Richard Mayers and her one and only great-great nephew Maythem Mayers. Alicia Stroleny (mother of her grandchildren), Wilma’s legacy is carried forward by a large and loving family. Preceded in death by her brother Kenneth Williams and cousin Gemma Richards, she now rests among her beloved family members. Nevertheless, her spirit lives on through her countless friends and the community she nurtured with boundless love and dedication. Wilma Kim Lelia Williams will always be remembered as a person whose life was characterized by service, compassion, and an unyielding devotion to her family and faith. Her contributions to the fashion industry and her impactful presence in the community have left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered.
