Passed away overnight aged 82.
Wife of Fos, father of Mark, Anthony, Stephen and Jenny.
A Magpies matriach, I'm sure that all football supporters will acknowledge her passing with respect.
A female icon of the game, before women were willingly accepted into the game.

Had the pleasure,as a teenager of chatting to Mark,Stephen and Von at the same time,sat next to them in the old Grandstand at Alberton the Sunday after a GF win.
What a wonderful woman,role model to her children and the football community in general.
Thoughts to the family.

Generations of a family often pass on with plenty of talk about their achievements. Few will leave a legacy that this family has.
RIP Von.

A sad day for the SA footballing community. RIP Mrs. Williams. I hope that Both Ports can come up with the goods over the weekend I will not be supporting them but i would love to see both win for the Williams Family. Lets hope Westies wins also for the Williams as they are a Part of our History as much as a part of Ports. Lets hope the SANFL has a minutes silence at all games as a mark of Respect to this great footballing and sporting family.

RIP Von Williams. I don't know how much impact you had on what happened since Fos joined Port, but the Williams-Port association has to be the most productive relationship in football history. You were part of great things indeed, the Williams name will surely be preserved in footy folklore.
