Obituary of Tamiko (Tami) Imaki WILLIAMS

July 5, 1950 - Mooka-shi, Tochigi-Ken, Japan
June 6, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta

Tamiko Williams, beloved wife of, Eric Williams, was called to her heavenly home on Saturday, June, 6, 2020 at the age of 69 years.

Tamiko was born on July 5, 1950 in Mooka, Tochigi-ken, Japan to Shigeru and Toku Imaki. In 1975, Tamiko moved from Japan to Vancouver to help her brother, Kasumi in his Japanese restaurant where she would eventually meet her husband Eric.

A truly remarkable soul and beautifully spiritual woman with deep Christian faith, Tamiko was an inspiration to her family and friends. She selflessly helped her friends and family, always putting others before herself. Her inner spirit, strength and loving smile melted hearts. She was steadfast and loving, a perfect mother and partner who loved her family above all else. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Besides her loving husband Eric, of forty-four years, Tamiko is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Miya and Mike of Ontario and Amy and Brendon of Calgary; grandchildren, Kaiden Ference William, Ethan Michael, Linden Louis, Jason Jones and Eric Joseph; as well as sisters, Hideko, Reiko, Yukiko, and Mieko of Japan.

Tamiko somehow knew the Lord was calling her home and she kept that appointment on June 6, 2020, in her own bed, in her own home, as her calm peacefully asleep face fully told.

“The lives that have been the greatest blessing to us are the lives of those who themselves were unaware of being that blessing.
-Oswald Chambers
