In Memoriam: Brianne Renae Williams (July 29, 1979 – Nov. 6, 2023)

Adored mother, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend, Brianne “Bree” Renae Williams passed away way at her home in Silverton, Oregon on Nov. 6, 2023 at 44.

Bree was born Brianne Renae Edwards in Salem Oregon, on July 29, 1979 to Susan Edwards (Harris) and Randy Edwards. Bree’s mother later remarried and she gained an additional father, Gary Rush.

In time, Silverton and Mount Angel, Oregon became Bree’s home where she made many friends and lots of good memories. Bree was someone who loved with her whole heart, laughed even on the darkest of days, and was always up for an adventure. If you needed someone to pick you up in the middle of the night, someone to ride the scariest ride with you at the State Fair, or someone to cry all the tears with you without any judgment, Bree was who you called.

Bree was preceded in death by her father, Randy Laton Edwards; her brother, Kyle Andrew Rush; and her husband, Jeffry Russel Williams. She is survived by her parents, Susan and Gary Rush; her siblings, Brandi Edwards, Brittany (Tom) Correll, Shana (Tanner) Shockey, and Casey (Nathan) Barnhart; and her children, Celeste (Chuck) Wiersum, Austin Edwards, Destiny Williams, and Bradley Edwards.

A Celebration of Life was held on Nov. 15 at the Silverton Elks Lodge.
