CaSandra "Sandy" Marie Williams

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of CaSandra Marie Williams, lovingly known as Sandy, who entered eternal rest on September 15, 2025, in Charleston SC.

Sandy was born on February 7, 1953, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Iola Cannon (née Lambert) and LeRoy Henry Sr. She attended Rufus King High School and later earned her GED from MATC.

One of three children, Sandy was preceded in death by her brother LeRoy "Herkie" Henry Jr., her stepfather Hugh Cannon, and her father LeRoy Henry Sr. She is survived by her sister Tanya Henry of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After moving to South Carolina, Sandy dedicated her life to serving youth through her work with the Boys & Girls Club, where she served as a Club Director. She received numerous awards and accolades for her leadership, but the true reward was the love and respect she earned from countless young people whose lives she touched. To them, she was more than Ms. Sandy—she was a mentor, advocate, and source of inspiration.

Sandy leaves behind her beloved children:

Dorian O'Murray (Melinda) of Hanahan, SC

Courtney Johnson-Kennedy of Atlanta, GA

Toni Tarantino (Nicolette) of Milwaukee, WI George Thompson of Milwaukee, WI

She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren: Nigel Johnson (Ladana) of Summerville, SC; Josiah Allen of Milwaukee, WI; Chloe O'Murray of Waukesha, WI; Treyvon Johnson-Kennedy and Gabriella Johnson-Kennedy of Atlanta, GA.

She was also blessed with great-grandchildren: Jayden Allen and Aniyah Allen of Milwaukee, WI; Takai Johnson and Nyzir Johnson of Summerville, SC.

Her nieces Sophia Henry of Atlanta, Ga and Genene Hibbler of Milwaukee WI, nephews Jason Henry and Christopher Henry who preceded her in death and a host of extended friends and family.

Sandy was the heart of every gathering—she loved children, fairs (especially the Wisconsin State Fair), and being surrounded by family. She was the life of the party, full of laughter, joy, and generosity. If you met her, you'd never forgot her.

Though words cannot fully capture the impact of her life or the depth of her absence, we know she is now at peace—free from pain and embraced in the Lord's love. She carried our love with her, and while our hearts must take time to catch up to this reality, we trust we will see her again. Until then, we cherish the memory of our wonderfully, crazy, beautiful soul we call Mom.
