On September 6, 1979, Brenda Marshall Williams and Cornel H. Williams received their second bundle of bouncing joy. They named their precious new born girl, Blaine Danielle.

Dannie, as she was affectionately referred to by family and friends, began ballet lessons at the tender age of three, and began her schooling at the age of four. Her education continued at the School of St. Mary's, and culminated with her graduation from Cascia Hall Prepatory School where she graduated with the prestigious class of 1997. While there, Ms. Williams held various volunteer jobs, and played for the girls basketball team.

Dannie continued her education at The College of Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There she participated as a reporter for the Social Sciences Club, made President's Honor Roll, and found her place on to the Dean's List. Through school, Dannie worked in the college's computer lab assisting other students, and volunteered at the City of Santa Fe's Crisis Center. Dannie graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, cum laude in 2001 and went on to complete her Master's in Counseling Psychology after attending Adams State College and Capella University. Dannie was preparing to move to Phoneix, Arizona to begin a doctoral residency before becoming ill.

Dannie was bold, and a very kind and generous person. She would often write letters about her dreams, addressing them to God. Dannie was preceded in death by her grandfather, Otis W. Williams, SR.

Williams, Edith and Clifford Marshall, all of Oklahoma, great aunts, Jewel Sanders, Martha Fisher, both of Oklahoma, and Merdis Word of Kansas. Uncles Otis W. Williams, JR., Dennis C.
