Gennia Ann Williams' Obituary
Gennia Ann Williams, age 60, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, January 2nd, 2023 at her daughter’s home in Clarendon Texas. She was born August 9th, 1962 in Fort Worth, Texas to Raymond Chamberlain and Virginia (Barton) McSpadden. She attended school in Weatherford, Texas and was the class of 1980.
Gennia began working with BNSF Railway in transportation services in 2010. She loved chasing trains and made some good friends a long the way. She continued chasing trains until July 2021.
Gennia had multiple health issues, that included, Congestive Heart Failure. She survived two Double Bypass surgeries in 2006 and 2018. She began to get weak and lose a tremendous amount of weight in 2021 and in Sept 2022, she was diagnosed with High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome, which is an aggressive form of blood cancer. She was told that the prognosis was 12-18 months with treatment. She immediately started treatment and she faced this uncertainty with a fierce desire to live. She endured numerous treatments and infusions and a 3-week hospital stay. She was determined to be home for Christmas. She was home for Christmas and New Year’s. She survived a total of 95 days from the date of diagnosis. She spent her last 5 months with her daughter, Ginnie, as her primary caregiver. She had come to terms with her impending death, but remained optimistic. She waited to be alone to go home with her heavenly father. Her death has left a tremendous void in her family and she will forever be missed.
Gennia can be remembered as fiercely protective over her daughters and grandchildren. She had a relationship with her daughter, Ginnie, that can only be described as unbreakable. Her relationship with Amber was one that they only understood. Even if she didn’t agree with something, she would support her kids. She loved going to Nascar races and watching her Denver Broncos, going to concerts, and visiting the beach. She moved to Pampa, Tx in 2021 so she could be closer to her daughter, Ginnie and her grandkids. She was extremely proud of Trinity, Tyler, and Tanner’s athletic achievements. If you were to ask her about them, she would beam with pride and begin to brag about something they were involved in. Her collection of pigs will now be protected and treasured.
She was preceded in death by her biological father Raymond, her mother, Virginia McSpadden, her step father, Robert McSpadden, brothers Billy and Ray Chamberlain, her sisters, Maxine Wright and Doris Taylor.
She is survived by her daughter, Ginnie Siefkas and husband Joseph Siefkas Jr of Clarendon Texas; daughter, Amber Williams of Grand Prairie. Her grandchildren, Trinity (22), Tyler (15), Tanner (15), Jeannine (20), Emerson (8), Rhylee (7), Hunter (5), and Aidan (17), all of Clarendon. She is also survived by her long-time best friend and roommate, Kellye Bellah and her chosen niece, Autumn Underwood and niece, Virginia Ward of Pampa Tx; sister Debbie Coonrod and brother Randy Chamberlain and a long list of extended family and friends. She also leaves behind her fur babies RuRu, Duchess, and Morris.
The family would like to express our thanks for the wonderful care given by Dr. James Tucker Osteen at Texas Oncology in Amarillo and Dr. Tanner Neuman with Pampa Medical Group.
