FARMINGTON – Minta K. Williams, died unexpectedly Sunday evening, May 1, during a tragic car accident.

She was born in Mercer, June 14, 1916, to Eva and Harry Kimball.

She married her beloved husband, Gerard S. Williams, in 1937. They lived their first years in Bethel, where her husband practiced law until World War II.

She loved life and everything about it. At the age of 70, she took up tennis and enjoyed playing frequently with her friends. She also enjoyed going to workout at the gym, playing bridge, taking Spanish lessons and cooking exotic meals for her family. Adventure was a big part of her life and she became a world traveler, spending many winters in Spain, as well as several other trips to China, Japan, Turkey, Greece, and many trips to Europe and France.

She was a member of the Monday club, Phylatia club, Red Hats, Garden Club and a weekly volunteer at the Farmington Thrift Store.
