Mrs. BethAnn Williams was born June 15, 1956 in Grand Rapids, Michigan to Kenneth Higgins and Eloise Greenman. She was a beautiful baby that grew up to be a beautiful woman. Her beauty radiated from the inside out and that’s why people were drawn to her, especially children.
BethAnn was a high school and college graduate. She obtained her Associate’s Degree in Child Development from Delta College. She worked as a parent advocate for Saginaw Intermediate School District Head Start program for over thirty years. She loved to work and held a second job with Walmart as a Customer Service Manager.
BethAnn loved to bake cakes for family and friends, shop, and take trips. With a calming spirit and a passion for helping mothers and babies, she was often called upon to assist women give birth.
