Livonia: Shea D. Williams passed away on August 20, 2015, at age 71. She is survived by husband John; children Kae Lim Williams (Devin Hedman), and Ryan (Laura) Williams. Sisters; Sarah (Louis) Piaquadio and Jeanine (Ralph) Salvadge, Grandchildren Niko, Gabriel, Okii and Pela. She is predeceased by her parents Abe and Ruth Sparber.
Shea taught elementary school music at the Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District from 1987-2002 and was known for her incredible talent and creativity with countless musical productions. Following her retirement she took on her most prized role as a loving grandmother to four wonderful children. She was able to see the greatness in everyone and make them feel important and special. Her heart was so amazing that people felt blessed to know her. She helped everything grow and bloom, from children to flowers. She was taken from us unexpectedly and far too early, and her family and friends are heartbroken.

So sorry to hear of Shea’s passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers

I’m saddened by the loss of a vibrant woman. Shea was the music teacher at HF-L while I was principal. Shea ramped up each concert to be even better than the last one. Audiences loved her creativity, and how she focused her own attention on all the children and let each one shine in a different way. Shea always had a ready smile, and always made me smile (no easy feat on some days!) I’ll miss Shea but I will always remember fondly the many musicals and classes I visited where kids were singing, and happy, and loving the moment with her as teacher. Shea was one of a kind!
Dear John, My heart breaks for you and your family, Shea was sunshine. When I think of her I see her laughing and smiling. We will never forget the wonderful times we have spent with you both at Paseo.
We are unable to come for the funeral but maybe we could come and visit you in a couple of weeks. We will be in touch to see if that works for you. Sending love and hugs, Barbara and Harry Rhinehart
Sincere condolences at the sad, sad time. Shea was such a joyful, talented and loving person. She made a difference in many young person’s life.
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Share your beautiful memories.

To Shea’s family… My heart is also very sad because I will miss my dear and very special friend. As she has sown seeds in her beautiful flower garden, she also has used her gift of love and encouragement to teach her precious children and grandchildren how to bring forth their best and to “blossom”, as well. She is so very proud of her family! I pray that each of you can keep your memories and joy of her close to your heart and mind always. Know that she is always with you in love, joy and pride.
Love, peace and blessings,
Lucy/Ms.Lucy xox
