Carmella V. Diana Williams, Clarks Summit, died Wednesday afternoon after a short illness. Her husband of 61 years, the love of her life, was Roy Williams.
Born in Niagara Falls, N.Y., the daughter of the late Vincenzo and Vittoria Diana, she was a high school graduate and, after raising her children, worked as a bookkeeper for various local businesses. She was a longtime member of the Church of St. Gregory.
