“She was proud to serve her Native people at Ketchikan Indian Community Tribal Health Clinic,” her family writes. “She will be missed by patients and coworkers.”
Tamara Williams was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Harriett Williams.
She is survived by her daughter, Christina Flores; sisters, Diana Williams and Destina Williams; brother, Garrett Williams; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
