Eleanor Williams
CHELSEA – Eleanor Williams, 68, of Chelsea, passed peacefully on Jan. 24, 2026 with her only son present.
Born Feb. 21, 1957, in Caribou to Alton and Lois Bridges, she lived a full life with dear family and friends always at her side. A true free spirit, she unapologetically expressed herself and lived life on her own terms.
An AML cancer survivor in remission for over 15 years, her willpower and determination were unmatched. She was an avid painter who found joy in bringing her art into the world. While her smile and spunky personality were often a focal point of any room she entered.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth J. Williams; and her sister, Jane Jack.
She is survived by her son, Kenneth G. Williams; and brother, William Bridges.
A private service will be held at a later date for friends and family.
Arrangements are in the care of Knowlton & Hewins Funeral Home & Cremation Care, One Church St., Augusta, where memories, condolences and photos may be shared with the family on the obituary page of the funeral home website http://www.khrfuneralhomes.com
