VeNeice was born on June 5, 1935, in Vernal, Utah to parents Lester Nielsen & Florence Merrell Nielsen with siblings Geneva, Brenda Joyce, Craig, David, Lorraine, Elosie, Paula, JaNeice, Kerry, Stewart, and Steven. VeNeice earned her G.E.D. at Safford High School and later married and was sealed for all time to the love of her life, Glyn R. Williams in the Mesa Arizona Temple on June 19, 1952. The couple was blessed with six children; Arlo, Mallene, Laurie, Doug, Kevin, and Cheryl. Aside from raising her children and being a homemaker, VeNeice was very active in our community, always helping with one thing or another, such as Friend to Friend, God's Pantry, Borderland Food, Tucson Commodities, and the Courier distribution for 18 years. She also enjoyed crocheting, playing piano, canning, serving others, selling the most Tupperware, and babysitting for many children in the community. She was outgoing and never knew a stranger, helped everyone she could, was very generous and a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
