"Thelda Williams was not only an extraordinary leader, but also a remarkable colleague and a dear friend to many of us on the council. The news of her passing was very hard to hear and today is a very sad day for the City of Phoenix.

Thelda Williams was an exceptional leader who dedicated her life to serving the people of Phoenix. With an unparalleled commitment to her community, she served on the City Council for more than two decades and remains the only person to have held the esteemed position of Phoenix's top official on three separate occasions.

Her profound love for Phoenix and its future was evident in every decision she made. Thelda's legacy will continue to inspire and impact generations to come. Her compassion, vision, and tireless efforts will always be remembered as instrumental in shaping our beloved city.

During her time in office, Mayor Williams consistently demonstrated a deep care for the people she served. She tirelessly championed causes close to her heart and worked diligently to improve the lives of all residents. Her contributions were immeasurable, and her absence leaves a void that will be felt by many.

As we mourn this tremendous loss together, let us extend our heartfelt condolences to Thelda's family - those whom she cherished dearly. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time, and we hope they find solace in knowing that her memory will forever be treasured by not only her immediate family but also by the extended city family she nurtured throughout her career.

The impact Mayor Thelda Williams had on Phoenix cannot be overstated. We are grateful for her unwavering dedication and remarkable leadership. Let us honor her legacy by continuing to work towards a future that embodies the same spirit of compassion and progress that she exemplified."
