Ms. Bennie Lucille Williams – (An Official Declaration Issued by) Our company’s founder, Ms. Bennie Lucille Williams, was summoned home to live with the ancestors late yesterday evening, and our announcement comes with a heavy heart because of this fact. She died away calmly amidst the comfort and caring of those around her. Ms. Williams was a formidable opponent who had to be taken seriously. She was a musician, teacher, mentor, friend, and mother to a great number of individuals in addition to being all of those other things. She will be remembered for the love and advice she gave, her brilliance, and the dedication she had to sharing the teachings contained in the spirituals’ sacred music and their lyrics.
