Junetta Williams-Benjamin

Junetta Marcell Williams-Benjamin, one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known is no longer here, she passed away late at night on February 2nd 2016. She was 22 years old, born on June 20, 1993 in Columbus, Oh. She was adopted by her beloved parents Shirley & David Benjamin of Hilliard, where she grew up. Junetta was met in heaven by both her adoptive & biological fathers, David Benjamin & Larry J. Williams, as well as her foster sister Larissa Slone

"Nettie" was taken from her only child, Baby Zyler, during a fatal head on collision. She also left behind her sisters Jayde, Jessica, Justina, Annie, Pamela, Billie Jo, and Jackie as well as her brother Larry Jr. While Nettie had many beloved nieces and nephews Carter & Greer held very special places in her heart. The siblings are spread all over but the Hilliard Community is such an important part in all of their lives. Nettie graduated from Hilliard Darby High School in 2012 where she played volleyball, basketball, and track. After school she worked for the Billman Family whom she cared for & respected very much.

Her son Zyler is going to be told day after day what an impact his mother made on so many people's lives and we plan to always remind him of exactly who this amazing young woman was. Loved is an understatement when it comes to her, so many people truly cherished Nettie's presence in their lives. Never a day went by or an obstacle crossed that Nettie wasn't smiling through or finding the lesson learned. Her heart was just about as big as her personality and as bright as her beautiful eyes. We are beyond grateful and appreciative for those of you that have shared and/or donated to her & baby Zyler's Go Fund Me account as well as the support and prayers from the community and loved ones. www.gofundme.com/nettiezyler
