Guest: Quiyanna Terry, Miyanna Albritton, and Jess Lewis
Kia Williams was a globetrotter, an awesome cook, and devoted mother. She began a new chapter in her life. Originally hailing from California, she settled in Barryville, Sullivan County, along with her son Sai.
Recently, Kia embarked on a journey that led her to marry her fiancé, Desmond, and temporarily relocate to Ghana while assisting him in obtaining the necessary documents to join her in the United States.
During this time, she discovered she was pregnant with twins. However, her happiness was overshadowed by her recent declining health, that got her to seek medical attention.
Tragically, Kia passed in May shortly after celebrating her 30th birthday.
As a cherished member of the online support group for rural mothers known as the Sullivan County Mamas, Kia was regarded as a beacon of positivity and warmth. Her untimely departure left her loved ones devastated, as she was taken from this world far too soon.
