Aunt Elma was my favorite Aunt on the Williams side of my family. Still have a birthday card she sent me when I was about 3 to 5 years old. She was fun, warm and loving, always good for a BIG hug! I loved going to Ansley to visit my mother's sister (Faye JONES Boyd) as I knew I'd get to go across the street and see Aunt Elma and Uncle Louis. Their home, though small, seemed to always be full of love. I can remember Aunt Elma sitting down at a piano (not sure where we were) and playing (by ear) any tune some one requested (believe Aunt Arlene has the same talent). She was great! --- vlww.
GROWIN' UP COUNTRY
Early Years In The Heartland ; The Williams Clan

''......Aunt Elma's pleasantly rounded body fulfilled the myth that fat people were jolly and loving ... for that she was! When she was a teen-ager she came for visits to our house, often bringing Dale and Arlene with her. She would pile in bed with the four of us captivating us with her most wonderful bed-time stories. She loved telling us spooky ones and we'd be so frightened we'd pull the covers over our heads ... and then the whole bed began to dance about from her laughter. Her words transported us from the plains of Nebraska into an imaginary world of beauty, adventure and intrigue. It was a world not unlike the one created by Eugene Field in his poem, '' Wynken, Blynken and Nod.''
