Remembrances
Celebrate and remember alumni friends and classmates who have passed away. Search for an individual's name to see a record of their major interactions with Williams, read their obituary (if provided by their next of kin), and share a memory of your time together.
The Remembrances site was launched in Spring of 2020, and includes death notifications beginning July 1, 2019. Archived obituaries are available and can be found in pre-2020 issues of Alumni News (Williams People).
