DUXBURY— Sandra L. “Sandy” Williams, 78, of Duxbury, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Colchester.

Born in Burlington, Vermont, Sandy was the daughter of the late Clarence J. and Dorothy E. (Collins) Lamson. On June 9, 1972, she married Willsie Williams at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Waterbury. Together they shared more than 54 years of marriage.

Sandy graduated from Waterbury High School in 1966. As a young woman, she began her working career at the Vermont State Hospital. She later worked at Northfield Savings Bank before concluding her professional career with the Vermont State Colleges in Waterbury.

Sandy was a devoted member of her community and church. She served as secretary of the local Weight Watchers chapter and was an active and faithful member of St. Andrew's Catholic Church. She found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially spending time with her beloved animals, relaxing at camp, and riding motorcycles with family and friends. Sandy will be remembered for her warm heart, her dedication to others, and the love she shared with those around her.

She is survived by her husband, Willsie Williams of Duxbury; her sister, Marcia Holden; her brothers, Richard Lamson and Jack Lamson; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.

In addition to her parents, Sandy was predeceased by six brothers, Albert Lamson, Everett Lamson, Donald Lamson, Harry Lamson, Stanley Lamson Sr., and Clarence Lamson; and by three sisters, Florence Hanlon, Rachel Guyette, and Alma Ashley.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 11 a.m. at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Waterbury. A reception will follow at St. Leo's Parish Hall.

For those who wish, memorial contributions may be made to The Kirby House, 64 South Main Street, Waterbury, VT 05676.

The family wishes to extend sincere gratitude to the staff of Central Vermont Medical Center, University of Vermont Medical Center, and the McClure Miller Respite House for the compassionate care and kindness shown to Sandy and her family throughout her illness.

Sandy's kindness, faith, and love for family and friends will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
