Antonisha Monae’ Williams was born on April 20, 1994 to the parents of Felisa M. Brown and Antonio M. Williams. She was raised since birth by her stepfather, Mr. Corey Thomp- son, Sr.
She was a native of Florida and resided here for 25 years. Antonisha was born prematurely weighing in at 1 lb. 12 oz. Doctors gave her one week to live but, by the grace of God, she survived to be 25 years old.
She graduated from LaVoy Ex- ceptional School. She enjoyed school and was always anxious to learn new things like cooking, adding and sub- tracting. Just being around other people always brought a smile to her face.
Antonisha was declared legally blind at a young age and was later di- agnosed with cerebral palsy. She began having seizures approximately two years ago which led to a diagno- sis of hyperthyroidism. In spite of her limitations, she was eager to live her life to the fullest.
