All of us at the UUA β and across our Association β are grieving the loss of our former co-Moderator, Elandria Williams. A leader for decades throughout our Association, beginning with Eβs days as a youth leader, Elandria moved incredible change in our Association and in our world. E also held this faith and all our people in deep and fierce love.
We know that innumerable people, communities and organizations across the world are grieving and honoring Elandriaβs life, leadership, activism β and E's love that knew no bounds. We are honored to be in that fine company. We especially lift up in our prayers and in deep care, Elandriaβs parents, Elnora and Erven Williams, and brother Frederick. May love holds us all as we lose an incomparable, indomitable leader and dear friend from among us.
We will share more information as it becomes available. Below is information from Elandriaβs congregation, the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, for sending cards to the family.

It is with great sadness that the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church announces the untimely and unexpected death of our favorite daughter, Elandria Williams, a child of our church who became a dynamic denominational leader, most recently as co-moderator of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
Please surround E's parents Erven and Elnora Williams and brother Frederick with love. Those of us who taught E in Sunday School, nurtured E in youth group, empowered E as a young adult, watched E blossom as a grassroots community organizer and served with E in congregational and denominational leadership positions continue to be blessed by E's courage, E's convictions and E's gigantic heart that filled our world with love.
You are welcome to send cards to:
Elnora and Erven Williams

Rev. Chris Buice
